as that discussion seems to suck here for a longer time, I'd throw in
my 2 cents too.

There are 2 very good reasons I read that list for (I'm not yet in a
position to attend in the form of a writer, as I currently can't
contribute much): The technical brilliance in a (for me) very
interesting topic and it's humour, sometimes black and close to the
borders, but usually far from politically correct-isms.

First of that remains, but if the list is going to change to one of
those softwashed and political-correct-dogmatic do-gooders lists, it
starts to read more like a communist manifesto or the like, something I
won't read for sure in my sparetime. That would degrade the before
first level tech topics to 2nd level, and install or enforce a sort of
wording check barrier at 1st level.

Regarding the mentioned "shoah jokes" - it's not my sort of humour, but
please keep in mind, that doing jokes with such topics is usually not
really an expression of fun with that topics, but more one of shock or
as a try to cope with the shock of something unbelievable, unthinkable
or unimaginable. Nobody would usually expect people here to justify what
happened in Shoah, even if we don't know personally, and as long as it
doesn't take over the common language use here, I'd rather read even
Shoah jokes (or other maybe inappropriate sentences) that way and keep
discussions on political correctness of speech far outside.

Up to just last week I was glad to learn from you all, since the start
of exact this discussion it started to taste damned frowsty...
