I apologized for correcting a comment from someone who I believe isn't in a place to discuss the issue, and who would predictably contest the claim --- since we'd already had the same disagreement elsewhere, bringing it up again, however valid my concern was, was bad for the thread. The apology was in no way whatsoever a reflection of my beliefs about what actually happened.

"Goybucks" is absolutely not OK here.

I think the ship has sailed on you putting things politely in this thread.

You think quite a lot of things other people disagree with in this thread.

Though: this world's essentially an absurd place to be living in, it doesn't call for bubble withdrawal. I've been told it's a fact of life: men have to kill one another. Well, I say there are still things worth fighting for!

I hope that you discover a world worth that is worth sharing with your fellow man, in your lifetime.

Would you be ok with "abeedbucks"?

Once again, that is off-topic and unrelated to the discussion we are having.

No more than "goybucks" is.

Jews use "goy" as a slur against non-Jews. As a so called "goy", I don't find "goybucks" offensive and in fact appreciate the attempt to reclaim the word.

Would you be ok with "abeedbucks"?

If it's self-depricating, sure. I'd love to see how my two cents in goybucks measure up in the eyes of a Muslim man.
