For those who don't know, it is worth doing a web search on the original phrase. It comes from a history of extreme violence, and apparently even today is used by the US elite forces. Not a good look.

Tell me, Rich -- do you cringe and demand that Apple and the Linux community rename the "kill" command every time you have to terminate a rogue process from the command line? Or do you campaign for the rogue process's right to live, despite the fact that it is sucking up memory and making your system unstable?

It amazes me how postmodern thinking has
left us entirely without a sense of humor and induced an oversized sense of groupthink.

And for those who invoke Postel's maxim as a justification for censorship -- I don't think you would have tolerated its outspoken author, at all.
