OK, look here is the real fact, bar none. Only the person who utters a phrase, let me say that again "THE PERSON WHO UTTERS A PHRASE" in a derogatory manor is the real issue here. Words mean nothing until hey are said in a derogatory manor. GIMP means nothing to anyone until the person saying it gives it meaning. We mean it to be a graphics program. If you went to a handicapped person and showed them the GIMP and explained what it was they would think nothing of it, unless they were used to using the word in a derogatory manor themselves, shouting it out at other people. These people are not worth changing the name for to put it bluntly.
