I would submit that we should be as polite as possible whenever discussing component pieces of Sage. We depend on them to make it work great. This is especially true when discussing something fairly technical to a large proportion of Sage developers, I would guess, and certainly to the many users who subscribe or visit this on the web in the hopes of learning something. This is a public forum, even if it often doesn't seem like it because we get to know one another to some extent at Sage Days and on the list. As a separate issue, I realize that not everyone will agree on what acronyms/cuss words are appropriate for this forum, so I won't push this too strongly. But my guess is that the public Mma lists, or Mapleprimes, wouldn't be too hot on this as a customer relations strategy. (I also realize that now someone will prove me wrong by finding a much worse example on one of those sites!)
