People are upset because they're being called racists when they're not
by a sub-group who wants dominance and makes the accusation that because
you're white you're a racist. Then our peers grovel when they've done
nothing wrong. They've committed NO sin.
Master/Slave wasn't thought up to OFFEND anyone nor to make any racial
connotations. You are admitting guilt where there is no guilt.
As I said earlier, every race has been enslaved at one point in there
existence or another. Black slave masters sold black slaves to white
slave traders, and yet, I hear no call for reparations for blacks from
black slave masters. No, it's only a call to whites because there's an
agenda to bring down white culture.
It starts somewhere. The current battle is to remove our language and to
impute guilt where there is none.
Again, grow up.

For the record, I know*many* people who are perfectly sane who find using the
terms master and slave in a technical context to be deeply offensive.
But you denigrate anyone who doesn't agree with you.
And you whine that nothing should be changed for other people because it's fine
with you and those people are lesser than you and therefore their feelings are
unimportant.
This is exactly what I meant by, "it betrays at the very least a real lack of
empathy;" rather than make an effort to understand why people have a difference of
opinion it is simpler to attack them and diminish them as having mental issues for daring
to not toe to your line.
The decision has been made. Anyone who doesn't like it is free to fork their
own version of Spamassassin, bind, and other packages for whatever reason they
want, even the mostly trivially selfish of reasons.
