| * vish wonders what the policy is for names like "sildenafil" , not offensive but.. | 13:56 | |
| vish | 'offensive' per-se* | 13:56 |
| bazhang | seemed to have called it vish | 14:01 |
| bazhang | vish, what language btw | 14:06 |
| vish | bazhang: not language, 'sildenafil' is the chemical drug name for viagra | 14:07 |
| bazhang | vish, thanks | 14:07 |
| vish | np.. | 14:07 |
| popey | I fail to see how that's at all offensive in any way | 14:45 |
| popey | but then I dont see how the nickname "viagra" could be either | 14:45 |
| serfus | not offensive but a bit rude imo | 14:46 |
| popey | the name of a drug is rude how? | 14:48 |
| bazhang | the user was quite rude. called #ubuntu+1 supporters "monkeys" | 14:49 |
| popey | lovely | 14:49 |
| vish | popey: yea, thats why i was wondering what the policy was, since it aint a really a family friendly name/topic per-se, but was kinda bordering the rules imo | 14:50 |
| Cheri703 | popey: if the person's nick was "erection" would it be offensive? or "erectile dysfunction"? because, for anyone who actually knows what sildenafil is, or if the sn is "viagra", that's pretty much going to be what is brought to mind... | 14:50 |
| popey | thats not what comes to my mind | 14:51 |
| Cheri703 | ok | 14:52 |
| Cheri703 | I'm not saying that if someone walks up to you and says "viagra" instantly that pops into mind, but...it's still at least the general topic | 14:52 |
| popey | I'd certainly say "erection" is nearer to offensive than viagra or sildenafil | 14:52 |
| popey | sadly when someone says viagra my first thought is 'spam' | 14:53 |
| vish | lol!! | 14:53 |
| Cheri703 | well, spam is offensive too ;) | 14:55 |
| popey | I'm just not sure playing the "word association game" for a while on peoples nicks is a good way to determine good/bad ones. | 14:56 |
| popey | I'm going to a party tonight, will give me a good opportunity to ask random people "What's the first thing you think of when I say 'viagra'?" :D | 14:57 |
| Cheri703 | I guess just using it as a "perhaps keep an eye on this one" since this one ended up being dumb, and I know in UW the "warning sign" nicks often lead to trouble | 14:57 |
| Cheri703 | hehe, perfect conversation starter popey | 14:57 |
| popey | yeah, i guess | 14:58 |
| serfus | popey, i'd be careful | 14:58 |
| popey | it's okay serfus, I'm a grown up | 14:58 |
| serfus | you live in the US right? | 14:58 |
| bazhang | hah | 14:58 |
| popey | Er. No. | 14:59 |
| bazhang | US colony | 14:59 |
| popey | Hah! | 14:59 |
| vish | haha! | 14:59 |
| popey | Why would that make any difference? | 14:59 |
| bazhang | serfus, you've never heard the podcasts? | 14:59 |
| serfus | bazhang, no, i haven't | 15:01 |
| bazhang | oy! | 15:01 |
| serfus | well.... i'm busy ;-) | 15:02 |
