| subject: | Re: BBC - banning the word `terrorist`? |

So I find this ban very odd. > We have a long history of going "the terrorist leader XYZ" followed by "President/Prime Minister XYZ". Kenyatta, Mandela, Begin, Shamir, Mugabe, Nujoma, Washington etc.etc.etc. Also if a terrorist aims to spread terror & instead simply spreads annoyance & some grief is he an "annoyancist"? "Griefist"? Noone was particularly terrorised & most were just pissed off at having their day f*cked up.
