Some people don't like snakes either. That's fine. However, by  
analogy, trying to get other people to stomp out snakes because of  
one's own bad experience goes beyond illogic -- which was my point in  
my post to Marilyn.

It also seems a lot of arguments about the name (aside from just not  
liking it) center around political correctness.

And that brings up the question of "political correctness for what  
purpose?" ... which could only really be answered after any possible  
organizational changes are determined.

It's pretty clear that different people have different end goals in  
mind, which is fine, but no single organization will meet everyone's  
ideal vision -- nor will any single name.

Different organizational goals would suggest different names, thus  
choosing the name before sorting out the organizational goal seems  
backwards.
