Re: [Gimp-user] Violation of GNOME Code of Conduct - ablelist language and discrimination

[Robert T. Short]

I too walk with a hitch in my getalong.  I am also a native English 
(American) speaker and I do not find the name of the program offensive.

It is time for a revolt against insanity.

I am a GIMP and have been one for my hwole life and find the use of the
term GIMP to be uplifting and to give all us GIMPS the utmost honor to
be associated with such an esteamed project.


Furthermore, the Code of Conduct is BS and should be removed from the
Gnome Project.

I formally request that the GIMP name be changed on the basis that it
violates the GNOME Code of Conduct.

I make this request, not to cause trouble but to stand up against
unintentional - but no less harmful - discrimination.

[...]

In what language stands the name as discrimination ? In my language (Romanian) the word 
"gimp" has no meaning whatsoever. The only possible association is with the GNU 
Image Manipulation Program – and this only for those who work with it or at least ever 
heard about it.

I wonder if in Italian or French or German etc. languages this word has any 
meaning except for the GIMP program.

In violation of good forum behavior I am commenting on this eternal, and very
old thread because that is all I have the bandwidth to do.  I also hate the
export feature.  I even keep an old Linux system around that has 2.6 on it so I
can quickly do simple edits because of this annoyance.  I finally decided to
google gimp hate 'You can use this dialog'   and behold, a plethora of painful
and ignored requests were returned.  I would love the option to choose which way
to have it behave.  Does that not satisfy both camps?

Did your searching reveal this possibility?

(I've not used it myself; I'm happy enough with the save/export
distinction.)



I too am unable to understand why this is such a problem, but I am 
replying to Bob Long's comment because my name is Bob Short and I can't 
resist.
