Re: [Gimp-user] Violation of GNOME Code of Conduct - ablelist language and discrimination

It is time for a revolt against insanity.

I am a GIMP and have been one for my hwole life and find the use of the
term GIMP to be uplifting and to give all us GIMPS the utmost honor to
be associated with such an esteamed project.


Furthermore, the Code of Conduct is BS and should be removed from the
Gnome Project.
