Good question, how to treat profanity when embedded in a site URL or email
address. I'll bounce it around with the rest of the gang and see what they
think. Meanwhile, as ways to find the site, there's Makeashorterlink.com if you
wanted to take the trouble or Google.com (for others to search for it using the
clues you gave) if not.
I like her writing style even if I don't always agree. In this case I'll pick at
just one (of many possible that I could pick at) point... I think she's in the
minority, the VAST minority, giving 0% to charity. Most people are good people,
not misanthropes.
Heck, even I give more than 0%.
Hence I think the argument that "it's a good cause but I won't support it
voluntarily, therefore you should be forced at the point of a gun to do so"
doesn't wash.
That's not to say that I do not think there is value in having a few
misanthropes around. We can carry them (Free rider problem or not) and they're
worth having around for a dose of reality.
