It refers to the existence of newsgroups centered around sex.
An irrefutable fact, just like there are newsgroups centered around
Emacs, text editors, torture, and the C Standard.

On the other hand, there are no newsgroups centered around posting
Internet memes.

I am personally fine with such jokes.  That doesn't mean I approve of
torture, that just means I am not so offended by the mere existence of,
say, alt.torture, that I spend my time trying to erase it from the
internet.

What certain people are trying to do is to turn the world into their
personal echo chamber.  One person who works on GNU software is a
Buddhist.  I am jolly glad that I am not forced to be one as well;
similarly, he is glad that I do not try to impose my religious
viewpoints on to him.

Likewise, people should not force others to adopt their own lists of
offensive words.

People who are easily offended will have no use for a newsreader.
Unless, of course, they get their internet service from Time
Warner Cable.

Unlike certain self-righteous people who are offended by everything on
the internet, I recognize that ``blessed'' is used outside its religious
context, so if it was not clear from context, I don't actually find it
offensive, irrespective of what I think about religion.

What I do find offensive, as a person, is the implication that we as a
species are so sensitive to certain words that newsgroups must receive
the blessings of politically correct priests to continue to exist in a
manual.  Many people share this viewpoint, certainly more than those who
shout at a harmless joke in a newsreader's manual.

This is a different case.
"sexp" is an abbreviation often used in the code. It is also defined in
"10.1 Introduction to Evaluation" of Elisp manual, although not commonly
used in the manual itself (as footnote explains).

Technical terms are necessary for understanding. They are also
well-defined in ways clearly unrelated to "sex" in your example.

In contrast, the topic of sex in the discussed jokes is intentional and
refers to the concept of sex.

I have no objections. I also asked the author of the patch I shared and
there are no objections either.

I agree with you that we cannot 100% guarantee that no single reader
will be offended. However, it does not mean that we should have no
boundaries whatsoever about what to talk about in the manual, especially
in jokes, which do not carry essential information for understanding.

On one hand, we don't want to cater every single possible offence (like
text that offends a single person in the world, at extreme).

On the other hand, we probably don't want to joke around universally
disgusting/offending topics as, say, tortures described in details.

The above two are extreme boundaries.

RMS suggested that we must avoid jokes that offends users of the
software described in the manual.

This is another boundary.

I suggest avoiding topics __commonly__ known as sensitive at culture
level.

This is the boundary I propose here.

You example with "blessed" is not something commonly known as offending,
IMHO. "Sex" is.

Can you rewrite the actual paragraph to include all that information?

It is ok to have jokes, but this manual also has a serious job to do:
explain how to use GNUS, in clear language that is easy to understand.

If the explanation depends on getting a joke that not everyone gets,
that is a bug, and it needs to be fixed.

Would someone like to write a patch to say what "kill file"
seriously means, and what "scoring" means, right after the joke
about them?

alt.sex.emacs is not a real group either, so there is no "accuracy" to
reduce.  Both groups are made up.

Installing the proposed patch has absolutely nothing to do with
censorship, of course.  I don't see how anyone could think that it does.
I suggest removing a couple of words because the jokes are not that
funny, somewhat childish, and arguably distracting to some readers.

Furthermore, of course it will "work".  I install patches in emacs.git
every day, as do you.  But of course we can't change Usenet.  Comparing
Usenet to our git repository is a category error.

There is no disagreement about this.

The problem with this approach is that alt.sex is a real hierarchy.
``alt.meme'' is not, so it reduces the accuracy of the joke.

Trying to censor this part of the Gnus manual is like trying to censor
the Usenet: it won't work.  It is sad that the unsuccessful attemts at
censorship from important people and organizations, including American
congressmen and major Internet service providers, have been reused by
those pushing modern, for lack of a better phrase, PC rhetoric, against
newsreaders.

One of the few standpoints unrelated to free software taken by the GNU
project is the opposition to censorship.  No matter if the demands for
censorship come from individuals, or if they come from the
Communications Decency Act, they must be resolutely opposed.

I suggest this alternative and much more minimal patch, which only
removes the most unnecessary references to "sex" (replacing it with
"meme", which is what most of the internet is about these days) but
keeps the reference to something as innocuous as a "date" (which in
standard American English could mean just having dinner) and "naughty"
(which according to Merriam-Webster means "engaging in or marked by
childish misbehavior").

If this is acceptable, I suggest installing this and moving on.

That's too harsh.  Let's try conducting this uneasy discussion without
being too harsh.

I find this offensive to everyone on the Net.  It implies we are
children who need newsgroups named ``butterfly'', and cry at the sight
of the the words ``naughty'' and ``recovery''.

In my youth, I took part in campaigns against religion.  Likewise, the
word blessed is offensive to me.

Will you now ``cater'' to me by retracting this change?
If not, why should we cater to you?

I do not think that objectionable jokes are many in the Gnus manual.
I do not think that jokes Gnus manual are all bad.
I believe that we can improve the jokes in the Gnus manual, replace
some, or add new. We cannot treat manuals as a complete literary piece
that must not be changed significantly even when the underlying software
is being actively developed.

I do not think so. We can have jokes in GNU manuals. Officially.

I believe that the current manual can be improved without rewriting. It
is more likely than someone rewriting it.

Makes sense indeed. At least for the first guideline I quoted.

What about the second one?

	 If other participants complain about the way you express your ideas,
	 please make an effort to cater to them. You can find ways to express
	 the same points while making others more comfortable. You are more
	 likely to persuade others if you don't arouse ire about secondary
	 things.

This bug report started by a report from a user complaining about 3
specific sections of Gnus manual (Note in 3.15 Exiting Gnus, sex joke in
3.16 Group Topics, and sex joke in 8 Scoring).

While removing the problematic parts is not something we have to do
(they clearly mean no offence), what about rewriting them in such a way
that sex topic is avoided and yet the jokes are retained.

I am attaching a patch from another user with some jokes being rewritten
using different terms.

I agree in general. However, not following the fashion for
hypersensitivity does not mean doing the opposite-ignoring that fact
that some statements/topics can be sensitive/offensive.

There should be a boundary, albeit not the same with specific country

8.13 Kill Files
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Gnus still supports those pesky old kill files.  In fact, the kill file
entries can now be expiring, which is something I wrote before Daniel
Quinlan thought of doing score files, so I=E2=80=99ve left the code in ther=
e.

   In short, kill processing is a lot slower (and I do mean _a lot_)
than score processing, so it might be a good idea to rewrite your kill
files into score files.

   Anyway, a kill file is a normal =E2=80=98emacs-lisp=E2=80=99 file.  You =
can put any
forms into this file, which means that you can use kill files as some
sort of primitive hook function to be run on group entry, even though
that isn=E2=80=99t a very good idea.

   Normal kill files look like this:

     (gnus-kill "From" "Lars Ingebrigtsen")
     (gnus-kill "Subject" "ding")
     (gnus-expunge "X")

   This will mark every article written by me as read, and remove the
marked articles from the summary buffer.  Very useful, you=E2=80=99ll agree.

   Other programs use a totally different kill file syntax.  If Gnus
encounters what looks like a =E2=80=98rn=E2=80=99 kill file, it will take a=
 stab at
interpreting it.

   Two summary functions for editing a GNUS kill file:

=E2=80=98M-k=E2=80=99
     Edit this group=E2=80=99s kill file (=E2=80=98gnus-summary-edit-local-=
kill=E2=80=99).

=E2=80=98M-K=E2=80=99
     Edit the general kill file (=E2=80=98gnus-summary-edit-global-kill=E2=
=80=99).

   Two group mode functions for editing the kill files:

=E2=80=98M-k=E2=80=99
     Edit this group=E2=80=99s kill file (=E2=80=98gnus-group-edit-local-ki=
ll=E2=80=99).

=E2=80=98M-K=E2=80=99
     Edit the general kill file (=E2=80=98gnus-group-edit-global-kill=E2=80=
=99).

   Kill file variables:

=E2=80=98gnus-kill-file-name=E2=80=99
     A kill file for the group =E2=80=98soc.motss=E2=80=99 is normally call=
ed
     =E2=80=98soc.motss.KILL=E2=80=99.  The suffix appended to the group na=
me to get
     this file name is detailed by the =E2=80=98gnus-kill-file-name=E2=80=
=99 variable.
     The =E2=80=9Cglobal=E2=80=9D kill file (not in the score file sense of=
 =E2=80=9Cglobal=E2=80=9D, of
     course) is just called =E2=80=98KILL=E2=80=99.

=E2=80=98gnus-kill-save-kill-file=E2=80=99
     If this variable is non-=E2=80=98nil=E2=80=99, Gnus will save the kill=
 file after
     processing, which is necessary if you use expiring kills.

=E2=80=98gnus-apply-kill-hook=E2=80=99
     A hook called to apply kill files to a group.  It is
     =E2=80=98(gnus-apply-kill-file)=E2=80=99 by default.  If you want to i=
gnore the
     kill file if you have a score file for the same group, you can set
     this hook to =E2=80=98(gnus-apply-kill-file-unless-scored)=E2=80=99.  =
If you don=E2=80=99t
     want kill files to be processed, you should set this variable to
     =E2=80=98nil=E2=80=99.

=E2=80=98gnus-kill-file-mode-hook=E2=80=99
     A hook called in kill-file mode buffers.


8.4 Score File Format
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

A score file is an =E2=80=98emacs-lisp=E2=80=99 file that normally contains=
 just a
single form.  Casual users are not expected to edit these files;
everything can be changed from the summary buffer.

   Anyway, if you=E2=80=99d like to dig into it yourself, here=E2=80=99s an=
 example:

     (("from"
       ("Lars Ingebrigtsen" -10000)
       ("Per Abrahamsen")
       ("larsi\\|lmi" -50000 nil R))
      ("subject"
       ("Ding is Badd" nil 728373))
      ("xref"
       ("alt.politics" -1000 728372 s))
      ("lines"
       (2 -100 nil <))
      (mark 0)
      (expunge -1000)
      (mark-and-expunge -10)
      (read-only nil)
      (orphan -10)
      (adapt t)
      (files "/hom/larsi/News/gnu.SCORE")
      (exclude-files "all.SCORE")
      (local (gnus-newsgroup-auto-expire t)
             (gnus-summary-make-false-root empty))
      (eval (ding)))

   This example demonstrates most score file elements.  *Note Advanced
Scoring::, for a different approach.

   Even though this looks much like Lisp code, nothing here is actually
=E2=80=98eval=E2=80=99ed.  The Lisp reader is used to read this form, thoug=
h, so it has
to be valid syntactically, if not semantically.

   Six keys are supported by this alist:

=E2=80=98STRING=E2=80=99
     If the key is a string, it is the name of the header to perform the
     match on.  Scoring can only be performed on these eight headers:
     =E2=80=98From=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98Subject=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98References=
=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98Message-ID=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98Xref=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98L=
ines=E2=80=99,
     =E2=80=98Chars=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98Date=E2=80=99.  In addition to th=
ese headers, there are three
     strings to tell Gnus to fetch the entire article and do the match
     on larger parts of the article: =E2=80=98Body=E2=80=99 will perform th=
e match on
     the body of the article, =E2=80=98Head=E2=80=99 will perform the match=
 on the head
     of the article, and =E2=80=98All=E2=80=99 will perform the match on th=
e entire
     article.  Note that using any of these last three keys will slow
     down group entry _considerably_.  The final =E2=80=9Cheader=E2=80=9D y=
ou can score
     on is =E2=80=98Followup=E2=80=99.  These score entries will result in =
new score
     entries being added for all follow-ups to articles that matches
     these score entries.

     Following this key is an arbitrary number of score entries, where
     each score entry has one to four elements.

       1. The first element is the =E2=80=9Cmatch element=E2=80=9D.  On mos=
t headers
          this will be a string, but on the Lines and Chars headers,
          this must be an integer.

       2. If the second element is present, it should be a number=E2=80=94t=
he
          =E2=80=9Cscore element=E2=80=9D.  This number should be an intege=
r in the
          neginf to posinf interval.  This number is added to the score
          of the article if the match is successful.  If this element is
          not present, the =E2=80=98gnus-score-interactive-default-score=E2=
=80=99 number
          will be used instead.  This is 1000 by default.

       3. If the third element is present, it should be a number=E2=80=94the
          =E2=80=9Cdate element=E2=80=9D.  This date says when the last tim=
e this score
          entry matched, which provides a mechanism for expiring the
          score entries.  It this element is not present, the score
          entry is permanent.  The date is represented by the number of
          days since December 31, 1 BCE.

       4. If the fourth element is present, it should be a symbol=E2=80=94t=
he
          =E2=80=9Ctype element=E2=80=9D.  This element specifies what func=
tion should
          be used to see whether this score entry matches the article.
          What match types that can be used depends on what header you
          wish to perform the match on.

          =E2=80=9CFrom, Subject, References, Xref, Message-ID=E2=80=9D
               For most header types, there are the =E2=80=98r=E2=80=99 and=
 =E2=80=98R=E2=80=99
               (regexp), as well as =E2=80=98s=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98S=E2=
=80=99 (substring) types, and
               =E2=80=98e=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98E=E2=80=99 (exact match), a=
nd =E2=80=98w=E2=80=99 (word match) types.
               If this element is not present, Gnus will assume that
               substring matching should be used.  =E2=80=98R=E2=80=99, =E2=
=80=98S=E2=80=99, and =E2=80=98E=E2=80=99
               differ from the others in that the matches will be done
               in a case-sensitive manner.  All these one-letter types
               are really just abbreviations for the =E2=80=98regexp=E2=80=
=99, =E2=80=98string=E2=80=99,
               =E2=80=98exact=E2=80=99, and =E2=80=98word=E2=80=99 types, w=
hich you can use instead, if
               you feel like.

          =E2=80=9CExtra=E2=80=9D
               Just as for the standard string overview headers, if you
               are using gnus-extra-headers, you can score on these
               headers=E2=80=99 values.  In this case, there is a 5th eleme=
nt in
               the score entry, being the name of the header to be
               scored.  The following entry is useful in your
               =E2=80=98all.SCORE=E2=80=99 file in case of spam attacks fro=
m a single
               origin host, if your NNTP server tracks
               =E2=80=98NNTP-Posting-Host=E2=80=99 in overviews:

                    ("111.222.333.444" -1000 nil s
                     "NNTP-Posting-Host")

          =E2=80=9CLines, Chars=E2=80=9D
               These two headers use different match types: =E2=80=98<=E2=
=80=99, =E2=80=98>=E2=80=99,
               =E2=80=98=3D=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98>=3D=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98<=
=3D=E2=80=99.

               These predicates are true if

                    (PREDICATE HEADER MATCH)

               evaluates to non-=E2=80=98nil=E2=80=99.  For instance, the a=
dvanced match
               =E2=80=98("lines" 4 <)=E2=80=99 (*note Advanced Scoring::) w=
ill result in
               the following form:

                    (< header-value 4)

               Or to put it another way: When using =E2=80=98<=E2=80=99 on =
=E2=80=98Lines=E2=80=99 with
               4 as the match, we get the score added if the article has
               less than 4 lines.  (It=E2=80=99s easy to get confused and t=
hink
               it=E2=80=99s the other way around.  But it=E2=80=99s not.  I=
 think.)

               When matching on =E2=80=98Lines=E2=80=99, be careful because=
 some back
               ends (like =E2=80=98nndir=E2=80=99) do not generate =E2=80=
=98Lines=E2=80=99 header, so
               every article ends up being marked as having 0 lines.
               This can lead to strange results if you happen to lower
               score of the articles with few lines.

          =E2=80=9CDate=E2=80=9D
               For the Date header we have three kinda silly match
               types: =E2=80=98before=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98at=E2=80=99 and =
=E2=80=98after=E2=80=99.  I can=E2=80=99t really
               imagine this ever being useful, but, like, it would feel
               kinda silly not to provide this function.  Just in case.
               You never know.  Better safe than sorry.  Once burnt,
               twice shy.  Don=E2=80=99t judge a book by its cover.  Never =
not
               have sex on a first date.  (I have been told that at
               least one person, and I quote, =E2=80=9Cfound this function
               indispensable=E2=80=9D, however.)

               A more useful match type is =E2=80=98regexp=E2=80=99.  With =
it, you can
               match the date string using a regular expression.  The
               date is normalized to ISO8601 compact format
               first=E2=80=94YYYYMMDD=E2=80=98T=E2=80=99HHMMSS.  If you wan=
t to match all
               articles that have been posted on April 1st in every
               year, you could use =E2=80=98....0401.........=E2=80=99 as a=
 match
               string, for instance.  (Note that the date is kept in its
               original time zone, so this will match articles that were
               posted when it was April 1st where the article was posted
               from.  Time zones are such wholesome fun for the whole
               family, eh?)

               Finally, two actually useful match types for dates: =E2=80=
=98<=E2=80=99
               and =E2=80=98>=E2=80=99.  These will allow scoring on the re=
lative age
               (in days) of the articles.  Here=E2=80=99s an example score =
file
               using the method:

                    (("date"
                      (7 10 nil <)
                      (7 -10 nil >)
                      (14 -10 nil >)))

               This results in articles less than a week old getting a
               10 point increase, articles older than a week getting a
               10 point decrease, and articles older than two weeks
               getting a cumulative 20 point decrease.

               The day can also be a floating point number: To score
               articles less than an hour old, you can say =E2=80=98(0.04 1=
0 nil
               <)=E2=80=99.

          =E2=80=9CHead, Body, All=E2=80=9D
               These three match keys use the same match types as the
               =E2=80=98From=E2=80=99 (etc.) header uses.

          =E2=80=9CFollowup=E2=80=9D
               This match key is somewhat special, in that it will match
               the =E2=80=98From=E2=80=99 header, and affect the score of n=
ot only the
               matching articles, but also all followups to the matching
               articles.  This allows you to increase the score of
               followups to your own articles, or decrease the score of
               followups to the articles of some known trouble-maker.
               Uses the same match types as the =E2=80=98From=E2=80=99 head=
er uses.
               (Using this match key will lead to creation of =E2=80=98ADAP=
T=E2=80=99
               files.)

          =E2=80=9CThread=E2=80=9D
               This match key works along the same lines as the
               =E2=80=98Followup=E2=80=99 match key.  If you say that you w=
ant to score
               on a (sub-)thread started by an article with a
               =E2=80=98Message-ID=E2=80=99 X, then you add a =E2=80=98thre=
ad=E2=80=99 match.  This will
               add a new =E2=80=98thread=E2=80=99 match for each article th=
at has X in
               its =E2=80=98References=E2=80=99 header.  (These new =E2=80=
=98thread=E2=80=99 matches
               will use the =E2=80=98Message-ID=E2=80=99s of these matching=
 articles.)
               This will ensure that you can raise/lower the score of an
               entire thread, even though some articles in the thread
               may not have complete =E2=80=98References=E2=80=99 headers. =
 Note that
               using this may lead to nondeterministic scores of the
               articles in the thread.  (Using this match key will lead
               to creation of =E2=80=98ADAPT=E2=80=99 files.)

=E2=80=98score-fn=E2=80=99
     The value of this entry should be one or more user-defined function
     names in parentheses.  Each function will be called in order and
     the returned value is required to be an integer.

          (score-fn (custom-scoring))

     The user-defined function is called with an association list with
     the keys =E2=80=98number subject from date id refs chars lines xref ex=
tra=E2=80=99
     followed by the article=E2=80=99s score before the function is run.

     The following (somewhat contrived) example shows how to use a
     user-defined function that increases an article=E2=80=99s score by 10 =
if
     the year of the article=E2=80=99s date is also mentioned in its subjec=
t.

          (defun custom-scoring (article-alist score)
            (let ((subject (cdr (assoc 'subject article-alist)))
                  (date (cdr (assoc 'date article-alist))))
              (if (string-match (number-to-string
                                 (nth 5 (parse-time-string date)))
                                subject)
                  10)))

     =E2=80=98score-fn=E2=80=99 entries are permanent and can only be added=
 or modified
     directly in the =E2=80=98SCORE=E2=80=99 file.

=E2=80=98mark=E2=80=99
     The value of this entry should be a number.  Any articles with a
     score lower than this number will be marked as read.

=E2=80=98expunge=E2=80=99
     The value of this entry should be a number.  Any articles with a
     score lower than this number will be removed from the summary
     buffer.

=E2=80=98mark-and-expunge=E2=80=99
     The value of this entry should be a number.  Any articles with a
     score lower than this number will be marked as read and removed
     from the summary buffer.

=E2=80=98thread-mark-and-expunge=E2=80=99
     The value of this entry should be a number.  All articles that
     belong to a thread that has a total score below this number will be
     marked as read and removed from the summary buffer.
     =E2=80=98gnus-thread-score-function=E2=80=99 says how to compute the t=
otal score
     for a thread.

=E2=80=98files=E2=80=99
     The value of this entry should be any number of file names.  These
     files are assumed to be score files as well, and will be loaded the
     same way this one was.

=E2=80=98exclude-files=E2=80=99
     The clue of this entry should be any number of files.  These files
     will not be loaded, even though they would normally be so, for some
     reason or other.

=E2=80=98eval=E2=80=99
     The value of this entry will be =E2=80=98eval=E2=80=99ed.  This elemen=
t will be
     ignored when handling global score files.

=E2=80=98read-only=E2=80=99
     Read-only score files will not be updated or saved.  Global score
     files should feature this atom (*note Global Score Files::).
     (Note: =E2=80=9CGlobal=E2=80=9D here really means =E2=80=9Cglobal=E2=
=80=9D; not your personal
     apply-to-all-groups score files.)

=E2=80=98orphan=E2=80=99
     The value of this entry should be a number.  Articles that do not
     have parents will get this number added to their scores.  Imagine
     you follow some high-volume newsgroup, like =E2=80=98comp.lang.c=E2=80=
=99.  Most
     likely you will only follow a few of the threads, also want to see
     any new threads.

     You can do this with the following two score file entries:

                  (orphan -500)
                  (mark-and-expunge -100)

     When you enter the group the first time, you will only see the new
     threads.  You then raise the score of the threads that you find
     interesting (with =E2=80=98I T=E2=80=99 or =E2=80=98I S=E2=80=99), and=
 ignore (=E2=80=98c y=E2=80=99) the rest.
     Next time you enter the group, you will see new articles in the
     interesting threads, plus any new threads.

     I.e., the orphan score atom is for high-volume groups where a few
     interesting threads which can=E2=80=99t be found automatically by ordi=
nary
     scoring rules exist.

=E2=80=98adapt=E2=80=99
     This entry controls the adaptive scoring.  If it is =E2=80=98t=E2=80=
=99, the
     default adaptive scoring rules will be used.  If it is =E2=80=98ignore=
=E2=80=99, no
     adaptive scoring will be performed on this group.  If it is a list,
     this list will be used as the adaptive scoring rules.  If it isn=E2=80=
=99t
     present, or is something other than =E2=80=98t=E2=80=99 or =E2=80=98ig=
nore=E2=80=99, the default
     adaptive scoring rules will be used.  If you want to use adaptive
     scoring on most groups, you=E2=80=99d set =E2=80=98gnus-use-adaptive-s=
coring=E2=80=99 to
     =E2=80=98t=E2=80=99, and insert an =E2=80=98(adapt ignore)=E2=80=99 in=
 the groups where you do not
     want adaptive scoring.  If you only want adaptive scoring in a few
     groups, you=E2=80=99d set =E2=80=98gnus-use-adaptive-scoring=E2=80=99 =
to =E2=80=98nil=E2=80=99, and insert
     =E2=80=98(adapt t)=E2=80=99 in the score files of the groups where you=
 want it.

=E2=80=98adapt-file=E2=80=99
     All adaptive score entries will go to the file named by this entry.
     It will also be applied when entering the group.  This atom might
     be handy if you want to adapt on several groups at once, using the
     same adaptive file for a number of groups.

=E2=80=98local=E2=80=99
     The value of this entry should be a list of =E2=80=98(VAR VALUE)=E2=80=
=99 pairs.
     Each VAR will be made buffer-local to the current summary buffer,
     and set to the value specified.  This is a convenient, if somewhat
     strange, way of setting variables in some groups if you don=E2=80=99t =
like
     hooks much.  Note that the VALUE won=E2=80=99t be evaluated.

Yss, they do.

The points in the Kind Communication Guidelines are not rules -- they
don't draw precise lines.  They are guidelines to apply, and how to
apply them is a matter of judgment.  We should never write anything to
offend a demographic group.  But when someone takes offense where no
offense was intended, we have to judge the issue by its specifics.

I am not saying that joke should be deleted.  I am saying that the
manual needs to explain its serious points weriously, not just with
jokes.  It needs to what kill files do, and what scoring does,
and how to use them.

I see.  But the manual has to tell the reader this, if it mentions
kill files at all.

That seems like a useful feature.  But the GNUS manual has to explain it.

I tend to agree here.

Looking at the big picture, Gnus manual is full of jokes, irony,
self-deprecation, and other literary devices.  It is a losing battle to
try to somehow clean it up by cutting some, possibly objectionable or
confusing, thorns.  The manual is full of them.

The whole manual should be rewritten, if one wants to have it written in
"neutral" style -- whatever that would be.  For the sake of argument,
let's say that "without literary gimmicks of any kind."

I _personally_ find the current Gnus manual a creative work that clearly
reflects its author's personality, which I consider a benefit.  For me
the manual is mostly amusing, occasionally annoying, and, at some
points, downright hilarious, like the completely out of scope "note"
about hazy trance.  OTOH, I like Lars' writing style and his sense of
humor.  I understand others may not.  It's okay, we are different.

As for adjusting the tone of the current manual, I don't see much return
of investment.  That energy would be better spent elsewhere.  I'd leave
the current manual as-is.

Thanks,
Petteri

The paragraph in question is

    8 Scoring
=20=20=20=20
    Other people use =E2=80=9Ckill files=E2=80=9D, but we here at Gnus Towe=
rs like scoring
    better than killing, so we=E2=80=99d rather switch than fight.  They do
    something completely different as well, so sit up straight and pay
    attention!

The technical information is that unlike the concept of
"killing" [*] that may be familiar to Usenet software users, Gnus
introduces the idea of "scoring" [**]. Scoring is a more powerful (and
also faster [***] compared to killing. Gnus recommends using scoring
over killing.

I had to read forward, backward, and specifically search for keywords to
understand the above.

[*] "killing" in Gnus is, AFAIU, hiding (not deleting) threads that
    match some criteria.
[**] First mentioned in 3.7 Group Score, but actually more general (does
     not only apply to Groups). Score is a number assigned to Gnus
    threads according to a number of criteria - each criteria (like
    matching some words in subject/body) will increase/decrease the
    total score. Gnus can then sort threads according to their score and
    even hide threads with score below certain threshold.

[***] 8.13 Kill Files
         In short, kill processing is a lot slower (and I do mean _a
      lot_) than score processing, so it might be a good idea to rewrite
      your kill files into score files.

Nowadays there is a fashion for hypersensitivity; whatever the topic.
If you approach within 50 feet, some will say "That's offensively
close."  No one is entitled to that much control over others.

GNU manuals should not insult anyone, not even with a hint, except
perhaps those who attack our freedom, for attacking our freedom.

But we should not have to tiptoe through life lest some hypersensitive
person take offense by association.

That is what I meant.

That may be a key to making progress.  If some readers can't understand
the technical information, that is indisputably a problem.  The question
is how to fix it.

Can you show is concretel what technical information is hard to understand
for those who don't get the joke?  I have never used GNUS.

A manual is meant to be understood by the readers it is addressed to.
A musing that people find it hard to follow is fine in a personal
memoir or an artistic work.  If it is in a manual, it gets in the way
of understanding.

No. I am asking it in more general context. Trying to align my
understanding of acceptable and not acceptable jokes.

There is a lot of disagreement in the interpretation as we can see, so
it would be useful to arrive at a common ground. Ideally, adding the
official stance to FSF maintenance policies, to the already existing
section on humour.

In my question, I specifically emphasized that I am talking about topics
sensitive for large groups of people - whole cultures.

I assume that GNU kind communication guidelines also apply to the
manuals. At least to some degree.

<https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html>:

    Please avoid statements about the presumed typical desires, capabilities
    or actions of some demographic group. They can offend people in that
    group, ...

    ...

    If other participants complain about the way you express your ideas,
    please make an effort to cater to them. You can find ways to express
    the same points while making others more comfortable. You are more
    likely to persuade others if you don't arouse ire about secondary
    things.

I think that the above two guidelines can be applied to some of the
discussed jokes.

Why would I? For me, Gnus is first and foremost an email/rss reader. I
am not interested in Usenet. I use scoring for reading rss feeds, not
Usenet.

I did but I still don't understand what "kill file" means.
Is it for marking articles read? Deleting articles from summary buffer?
Something else?

The text before the paragraph you underlined is saying that kill files
are like hooks, which makes things even more confusing. Why not making
it a simple hook then?

Then, the manual says that  "Other programs use a totally different kill
file syntax". So, Gnus kill files are different from normal? What about
"Gnus still supports those pesky old kill files"? There is no
explanation what "pesky old kill files" mean despite multiple references
where I am supposed to know this a-priori.

Why don't you ask Lars.

For single person's lack of insight, that shall not be deleted.

Especially if you did not live while reading newsgroups.

Kill file - Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_file

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
	
This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

A kill file (also killfile, bozo bin or twit list) is a file used by some Usenet reading programs to discard articles matching some unwanted patterns of subject, author, or other header lines. Adding a person or subject to one's kill file means that person or topic will be ignored by one's newsreader in the future. By extension, the term may be used for a decision to ignore the person or subject in other media.

Kill files were first implemented in Larry Wall's rn. Sometimes more than one kill file will be used. Some newsreader programs also allow the user to specify a time period to keep an author in the kill file.

Web-based forums, including at least some web-based Usenet portals, often have a similar but usually simpler feature called an ignore list, which hides any posts by a specific user, though typically without the ability to ignore posts for reasons other than the username of origin.

More advanced newsreader software like Gnus sometimes provides a more sophisticated form of filter known as scoring, where score files are maintained which use fuzzy logic to apply arbitrarily complex overlapping sets of rules to score articles up or down, with articles being properly killed (ignored by the newsreader) only when their weighted score drops below a user-defined threshold. For example, articles might be score killed iff they violate too many low-weighted stylistic rules (e.g. containing too many capital letters or too little punctuation, implying an annoying reading experience), or only one or two highly-weighted rules (such as the body containing objectionable keywords or the origin being a known source of spam).[1]

8.13 Kill Files
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Gnus still supports those pesky old kill files.  In fact, the kill file
entries can now be expiring, which is something I wrote before Daniel
Quinlan thought of doing score files, so I=E2=80=99ve left the code in ther=
e.

   In short, kill processing is a lot slower (and I do mean _a lot_)
than score processing, so it might be a good idea to rewrite your kill
files into score files.

   Anyway, a kill file is a normal =E2=80=98emacs-lisp=E2=80=99 file.  You =
can put any
forms into this file, which means that you can use kill files as some
sort of primitive hook function to be run on group entry, even though
that isn=E2=80=99t a very good idea.

   Normal kill files look like this:

     (gnus-kill "From" "Lars Ingebrigtsen")
     (gnus-kill "Subject" "ding")
     (gnus-expunge "X")

   This will mark every article written by me as read, and remove the
marked articles from the summary buffer.  Very useful, you=E2=80=99ll agree.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Did you read this section or not?

<sigh> One of the more enjoyable things in life is reading some of
Lars=CA=BC whimsy in the Gnus manual, which I doubt is meant to be fully
understood. It saddens me that the reaction to it is to remove it.

(and to whoever it was that found that bit insulting, I can only say
"what?!")

Since I also couldn't make heads or tails of it, I deleted that
paragraph.  I guess if someone thinks it's hilarious, they'll chastise
me publicly, and then they can hopefully also explain what the joke or
even intended meaning of that paragraph is.

No, the first paragraph does not make the following paragraphs less
clear. My problem with this paragraph is different: if contains
technical information that is hard to understand without understanding
the joke.

I am not asking to delete every single joke. I am asking to change or
delete the jokes that impair ability of the manual to explain the
technical information. Note that I specifically listed concrete jokes in
the initial report.

This sounds like a technical information being encoded into the joke. I
did not get this information while reading because I did not understand
the joke.=20

May you please point me to the place in Gnus manual that explains what
kill files are?

I only found the following, but there is no explanation what kill files mea=
n:

    8.13 Kill Files
    =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
=20=20=20=20
    Gnus still supports those pesky old kill files.  In fact, the kill file
    entries can now be expiring, which is something I wrote before Daniel
    Quinlan thought of doing score files, so I=E2=80=99ve left the code in =

Upon checking again with the person who initially reported the issue
with this particular note, I found that the part about insulting was
rather theoretical. The argument was that someone who had bad
experiences with bullying might feel insulted.

I now find such argument insufficient to call the note insulting.

It is not the only problem with this note though.

> I can't see what in this a reader might consider funny.

I had the same feeling upon reading section 3.15.

Now, when it was pointed that this is supposed to be a joke, I can see
that it is trying to play around the concept of "suspend".

> We owe no special consideration to people who try to impose their

I can see the point, but does it apply to well-known sensitive topics,
like sex, races, politics, etc? If such a topic must be mentioned as a
part of technical description, I see no problem with mentioning such
topics out of necessity. However, jokes in the manual are supposed to
either raise positive feelings or at least be neutral. If we know in
advance that a significant number of people will be annoyed by certain
kinds of jokes, are such jokes worth it?

May you elaborate? Reading the manual is a part of using Gnus. Or do you
mean that statements deliberately attacking/mocking people who use Gnus
(or certain parts/functions in Gnus) should be avoided?

2. (8) score, musical score -- (a written form of a musical composition; parts for different instruments appear on separate staves on large pages; "he studied the score of the sonata")
3. (4) score -- (a number that expresses the accomplishment of a team or an individual in a game or contest; "the score was 7 to 0")
4. (4) score -- (a set of twenty members; "a score were sent out but only one returned")
5. (1) score, account -- (grounds; "don't do it on my account"; "the paper was rejected on account of its length"; "he tried to blame the victim but his success on that score was doubtful")
6. (1) score -- (the facts about an actual situation; "he didn't know the score")
7. score -- (an amount due (as at a restaurant or bar); "add it to my score and I'll settle later")
8. score, scotch -- (a slight surface cut (especially a notch that is made to keep a tally))
9. grudge, score, grievance -- (a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation; "holding a grudge"; "settling a score")
10. score -- (the act of scoring in a game or sport; "the winning score came with less than a minute left to play")
11. sexual conquest, score -- (a seduction culminating in sexual intercourse; "calling his seduction of the girl a `score' was a typical example of male slang")

I too feel confused by that patricular joke.
Being a joke is not bad, but confusing the reader is bad.
So I think it should be deleted.

It poses a question which is a good question, but fails to
answer it.  Is the suspend command useful?  I guess that it is or was
useful for some people.  Can anyone say why it was useful?

How about replacing a joke with an explanation?

Can anyone explain that joke to me?  I don't get it.

Art is perceived by audience. Every user, every reader, can add to the
author's idea. It may be different to different users.

I get the feeling of what happens when "Exiting Gnus". What is the
stage when you exit the world of reading newsgroups? How does it feel? 

User is in one world "Gnus" or "news", reading newsgroups, it is
specific world where mind is occupied and does not focus on the
environment.

How does it feel when user get out of that news environment?

It is similar as waking up from a dream. It is similar as opening eyes
and seeing something totally different!

It shows the feeling of author contrast of the environment and feeling
of a user as to how it feels when you exit Gnus.

Maybe it is Miss Lisa Cannifax in English class, or plethora of other
variations.

It is awakening.

And Miss Lisa Cannifax helps reader awake to. 

There is message from author right there. I maybe see it, maybe
not. But I see what I feel.

* Overview of verb score

The verb score has 7 senses (first 3 from tagged texts)
1. (18) score, hit, tally, rack up -- (gain points in a game; "The home team scored many times"; "He hit a home run"; "He hit .300 in the past season")
2. (12) score, nock, mark -- (make small marks into the surface of; "score the clay before firing it")
3. (3) score, mark -- (make underscoring marks)
4. score -- (write a musical score for)
5. seduce, score, make -- (induce to have sex; "Harry finally seduced Sally"; "Did you score last night?"; "Harry made Sally")
6. score -- (get a certain number or letter indicating quality or performance; "She scored high on the SAT"; "He scored a 200")
7. grade, score, mark -- (assign a grade or rank to, according to one's evaluation; "grade tests"; "score the SAT essays"; "mark homework")

I totally got why scoring is preferred over killing. 😀n

I am not really "grown up" despite the age, so it's easy to get the
double meaning of it. Do you get it Po Lu?

Poll for jokes... either it is funny for somebody, or not funny for
somebody, it is personal, there is no poll about personality, it is
how it is. You are experiencing the author, not the robotic technical
manual! Why not be happy for that.

You see, those jokes also wait for this discussion to take place! 

What a great "program" by writing simple text.

Come on! It is good we have Info manuals of this type!

A joke need not be joke for person A, can be for person B, can be
dedicated to person C, can be hidden, there are millions of
variations.

Nobody is expected to be literate, or to have sense of humour. 

No joke is for everybody to be accepted or understandable.

It is fine to ask about it. It makes the whole system personal and
ex(c)iting. 

When I read books of Edgar Allan Poe I also do not understand every
word and meanings of the author, and I have to research a bit and
dwell and go in the past, that is the point of writing, as many
writings are a look into history and environment of the author.

Removing such writing to "comply" to today's expectancy, removes
personality of the author and diminishes the culture and art of it.

Instead, to help the today's reader, one only has to add maybe few
footnotes or hyperlinks for reader to understand what was meant at the
time.

😆 In my age I get the feeling fully! This even makes me subscribe to
newsgroups. That is exactly what people do. Why not make fun out of
what people actually do? No, I would never remove this part of joy
from manual.

> Forgetting about trying to joke around the word sex (the topic,

There is world on this planet, and that world is not self-centric. No
matter of religion, there is always more beyond that. That is for the
user to understand and grow up out of it. Or not.

> I simply feel disoriented while trying to read this paragraph.

He he he, why not subscribe to newsgroups and try it out.

Why be robotic and have it all strict, straight, and explicitly
useful.

Is that not bringing you a bit out o balance and habits of reading
technical documentation? Isn't it good that author talks to you in
funny way?

It is similar to a child being approached by rather unknown adult
person, some children will accept it and get along, some will start
crying. It is a process of growing up, at some point, same child will
be able to confront the unknown (not only people) and feel confident.

Keep the culture, only understand it, and add footnotes for people
though I don't think is necessary.

All your questions will be answered by understanding why Lars wrote
Gnus. Hahahahahha.

That joke is not particularly funny, and doesn't make an interesting
point.  To delete it would be no great loss.  However, it is not
horrible either.

That may be true -- I don't know.  But we are not part of your culture
and never agreed to follow its rules.  You and the others who practice
your culture are not entitled to demand obedience from everyone else.

The topic is not an evil, but that text is too hard to read.
If it is important to document that point, we should rewrite

Jokes which are hard for many readers to understand
can be frustrating for the readers who can't understand them.
So I think we should insist that jokes be comprehensible.

In other words, don't include jokes whose claim to funniness comes
from crucial links left unstated, stated vaguely, or replaced with
"wink, wink."

Somehow, the Gnus manual seems to me less as a serious manual and more

I trust everyone here can acknowledge Gnus had long ago reached a
terminal state, and that new readers of the manual are more interested
in 1990s netspeak than actually using the software.  As you readily
note, the manual is worthless for the latter's purpose.  Gnusers
worldwide, all 12 of us, have long known this.

I also trust everyone can see we're critiquing the equivalent of a five
year-old's clay ashtray as if it were a Confederate monument, which I
grant you is welcome respite from purposelessness and childlessness, but
nothing to build a head of steam about!

As a non-native speaker who also read the Gnus manual (except Searching
and the rest), my general sentiment is that it is hard to read it
because of its writing style but I don't agree that every joke hindered
my understanding.
I find it hard to skim through the manual later when I read it like
"regular documentation" due to its writing style so I would be happy to
see a rewrite that tones down the jokes but so far the Info indices have
served me well enough, and Gnus runs smoothly (for me) after the initial
setup anyway so it is not a bother.

I am not sure what this person finds insulting.  I am not sure if you
referred to this when you wrote "female bullying" in another thread, but
what I visualise when I read this is much more innocent and does not
have anything offensive.  OTOH, I do agree this paragraph sticks out and
seemingly serves no useful info.

This is yet another dry Gnus humour in my book.

If you replace "sex group" with a language group e.g. "Spanish", does
the paragraph make more sense?  I personally saw the use of "sex group"
as a jab at those who participate in "online sex groups" but I may be
group of course.

Even without any knowledge about news readers (I was not even born back
then!), I could tell that "kill files" were a way to filter your feed
from the context.  Especially since Emacs already uses the word "kill"
to mean what other applications call "cut" (kill-region) and "delete"
(kill-buffer).  I don't really see a cause for confusion here TBH.

OK. He knows there's a real option to be banned. Let's see how it goes,
and if he continues to offend people, I'll add him to the filter.

But that's the point.

Most people will find ridiculous that the following paragraph:

   Other people use ``kill files'', but we here at Gnus Towers like
   scoring better than killing, so we=E2=80=99d rather switch than fight.  =
They
   do something completely different as well, so sit up straight and pay
   attention!

makes the subsequent four paragraphs describing score files less clear:

     All articles have a default score (`gnus-summary-default-score'),
  which is 0 by default.  This score may be raised or lowered either
  interactively or by score files.  Articles that have a score lower
  than `gnus-summary-mark-below' are marked as read.

     Gnus will read any ``score files'' that apply to the current group
  before generating the summary buffer.

     There are several commands in the summary buffer that insert score
  entries based on the current article.  You can, for instance, ask Gnus
  to lower or increase the score of all articles with a certain subject.

     There are two sorts of scoring entries: Permanent and temporary.
  Temporary score entries are self-expiring entries.  Any entries that
  are temporary and have not been used for, say, a week, will be removed
  silently to help keep the sizes of the score files down.

similarly, most people will also agree that being written in English
does not prevent them from understanding Emacs documentation.

If you glance at the first paragraph, and decide to stop reading after
that, it is not a problem with the Gnus manual.  It is a reading
comprehension problem on your part.

If you really find that the first paragraph impairs the clarity of the
next four, contextually independent, paragraphs, then you are part of a
very small demographic.

Several months ago, someone came up with the idea to delete all
amusements from Emacs, and move them to ELPA (or something along those
lines.)

Asking us to delete every joke that someone finds confusing is not far
from those lines, and is in fact a very slippery slope leading directly
to that proposal.

These aren't orthogonal: we can have the manual in English _and_ in
other languages.  (In fact, we want to; it's just that no one has yet
volunteered to do the humongously monumental job of translating the
manual into any other language, and then maintain the translation over
the years.)

Exaggeration is a mother of many failures to agree on common goals.
So is over-generalization.

When I said it's up to you, I meant completely up to you.  Whatever
you decide in this case, including doing nothing, is fine by me.  I
have no opinion on this in this case.

Thanks.

I agree that jokes that do not impair the ability to understand the
manual are ok.

I disagree that jokes in "8 Scoring" and "3.16 Group Topics" do not
impair the understanding. For me, section 8 and section 3.16 are harder
to understand because of jokes. I even missed some of the technical
statements.

A note "3.15 Exiting Gnus" does not impair my understanding. Just make
me feel confused about what it means.

Please, do not use appeal to ridicule.

Yes, when it is clear to most people that they do not impair the ability
to understand the manual.

Many people do not understand English.
Should we write Emacs documentation in some other language, then?

Do you imply that users who did not understand certain parts of manual
because of presence of jokes should just try harder instead of asking to
clarify of the manual?

Can't we just add an extra answer to observe if such people are
over-represented? Just asking if they enjoy, stay neutral, or feel
offended about the version with jokes?

In general, I dislike such filtering. What about to ban him for the next
4 weeks, as warning and as cooling down?

If you replace ``sex'' with, say, ``kayaking'', the meaning of the joke
stays unchanged.

The joke is that it is possible to sort completely unrelated newsgroup
into categories.

It explains both what kill and score files are, and why score files
should be preferred instead.

It is trying to make people stop using kill files and use score files
instead, because they are supposed to be better.

I have never used a score file.

I can't see what in this a reader might consider insulting.
I can't see what in this a reader might consider funny.
I can't make sense of it at all.

Would someone who understands it please explain the joke?

I find it disparaging to Gnus itself.

If we think some detail of Gnus is somehow problematical, the manual
is the wrong place to say so.  Rather, Gnus developers should take up
the issue and decide whether this behavior is useful or not.  If
useful, explain why; if not, perhaps delete it.

This seems to be trying to create humor by simply referring to sex.
I "get the joke," but it doesn't seem to be very funny.  This part

           and the rest (what, two groups or so?)
  > >     you put in some misc section that you never bother with anyway.

stereotypes the users and mocks them.  That is likely to make the
readers feel attacked.

We owe no special consideration to people who try to impose their
unrelated hgypersensitivities on others.  They are demanding power
which nobody should have.

However, jokes that make people feel mocked _because they use Gnus_
are unfriendly to our users.  We should remove those.

That's not a kind attitude toward the reader.

                                             Since you don't know what a
  > kill or a (Gnus-specific) score file is, you can disregard that

That is very unkind to the reader.  Users don't enjoy feeling puzzled
about important parts of the subject matter.  The manual should _help_
users understand the subject matter -- that's its purpose.

I presume the Gnus manual explains what a kill file is, for readers
who do not know.  If not, we should add that.

Then this joke -- if it is worth keeping -- should have a cross reference
to that explanation.

So, IS this joke worth keeping?

Although I am an American, I don't get the joke at all.  It seems to
be more smirking than funny.

Can anyone explain the intended meaning?  If that is more funny than
the actual wording, maybe we could change the wording to be clear.
But if we don't do that, deleting the joke could be better.

The phrase, ``let's not think further'', deliberately implies that
whoever is reading the manual should not think about the topic any more.

That phrase does not appear in the Gnus manual.

What happens with all such a polls is that the mob which has been trying
to remove all traces of possibly offensive material from software will
arrange for themselves to be represented disproportionately relative to
the majority of normal people who do not care at all.

Instead of a poll, I'd rather we stay with the status quo, since it
evidently already works.

The issue is that it took an extra effort to understand it. Not because
of technical details, but simply because of presence of jokes.

IMHO, the primary aim of manuals is explaining technical information to
the users. Jokes that help to understand or at least does not hurt are
totally fine. But when jokes makes the information harder to understand,
isn't it against the aim of writing a good manual?

Sorry, I do not understand this sentence.

I see. Then, we are in clear disagreement here.

Maybe others can chime in to clarify if jokes in 3.16 Group Topics
section of GNUS manual hamper the understanding or not.

Or, would it be even better to run a small poll, similar to Emacs
survey, presenting two versions of the section: with and without jokes,
and asking which one is preferred? That will draw a more clear picture
compared to just two mailing list dwellers arguing about what other
people prefer.

There are many who are still growing up.  Is GNUS only intended for
adults?  I don't think so.  But still that sex topic included.

However, the text at the very end of the Top node of Texinfo manual is
even more offensive (for many):

     Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good;
     and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.  =E2=80=94Dick Brandon

Why a few GNU manuals tend to be for adults?

There are many who are still growing up.  Is GNUS only intended for
adults?  I don't think so.  But still that sex topic included.

However, the text at the very end of the Top node of Texinfo manual is
even more offensive (for many):

     Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good;
     and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.  =E2=80=94Dick Brandon

Why a few GNU manuals tend to be for adults?

I don't think "joke" means what you think it means.  A joke need not be
funny but it does need to at least attempt capturing an irony.  The
literary device used by the Gnus manual is merely whimsy.  In any other
context, the prose used, e.g., "Go wild!", would not raise any eyebrows,
but because it's injected into a technical manual, non-English speakers
mistakenly interpret this as an American's idea of a joke, when in fact
it's just grating ennui.

Now someone who spends 1/7 of his waking hours modifying emacs telling
others to "get a life."  Now that's funny!

I kindly disagree. 3.16 Group Topics section was difficult to
understand _for me_ precisely because of the jokes. I will elaborate
below.

Upon hearing about the problem and checking the specifically indicated
sections in the manual, I tend to agree with the person being offended.
Not because I am not offended (I am not), but because, as I stated
earlier, I believe that jokes should not complicate the understanding.

Absence of bug reports does not imply that the manual is easy to
understand. I do not say that it is incomprehensible, but the examples I
pointed to do make it harder to understand. Won't it be an improvement
to make the manual easier to understand for more people?

I do not see any problem with the provided paragraph. Yes, it contains a
lot of unfamiliar terms, but they appear to be necessary to describe the
technical information. In contrast, jokes do not convey any new
information. They are good to have as an _occasional_ distraction - a
break that may be necessary to simplify understanding; but not good when
they make understanding more difficult.

Imagine a joke inserted into your example, on top of all other
unfamiliar terms:

> This brings the encountered out-of-gamut (not gonad, mind you) color
> specification into the screen's color gamut by reducing or
> increasing (let's not think further) CIE metric lightness (L*) in the
> CIE Lab color space until the color is within (mmm...) the gamut.

Would you find it helpful or at least neutral to have these extra jokes
when trying to understand the above sentence?

They do not.  End of discussion.

Where I come from, it is generally said that a person who deliberately
tries to find problems with something is trying to ``pick pricks''.
They are usually able to find some problems, because the problems they
report tend to, by definition, rely on their own testimony: ``I don't
understand'', ``I'm offended by'', etc.

Such people generally ruin the day for everyone else wherever they
appear.

Whoever reported the problem with the Gnus manual, which has not seen
other such reports in over 20 years, certainly sounds like one such
individual.  And if you don't understand the manual, then it is not a
problem with the jokes therein.  Just read it again until you do.
How many people can understand the following sentence without reading it
at least once or twice?

                         XcmsCIELabClipL

  This brings the encountered out-of-gamut color specification into the
  screen's color gamut by reducing or increasing CIE metric lightness
  (L*) in the CIE Lab color space until the color is within the
  gamut. If the Psychometric Chroma of the color specification is beyond
  maximum for the Psychometric Hue Angle, then while maintaining the
  same Psychometric Hue Angle, the color will be clipped to the CIE Lab
  coordinates of maximum Psychometric Chroma. See
  `XcmsCIELabQueryMaxC'. No client data is necessary.

Is color management, thus, an evil which should be persecuted by hordes
of crusaders?

Thanks.
I also partially understand the joke.
My main problem is the last sentence, which I am not sure if it is
technical or still part of the joke.

    You can even group the Emacs sex groups as a sub-topic to either the
    Emacs groups or the sex groups=E2=80=94or both!

The paragraph structure is basically:

 <technical description><joke><half joke, half technical description>

Such structure is difficult to understand, especially if the joke itself
is not understood.

To summarize, my problem is not a joke and not that I understand it or
not. My problem is that I do not fully understand technical descriptions
in this paragraph.

> I do understand the rest as well.

Ok. I am especially confused about the Note: part in 3.15 Exiting Gnus
has. I fail to see a joke there. (this is not important in the context
of this bug, I am just curious)

While I do agree that people should ideally understand that jokes are
not aiming to offend them, even if the topic is not acceptable in
someone's culture, it is not practically the case for all the users.

In particular, topics sensitive within whole cultures (sex, race,
female bullying) are likely to distract (or worse) a significant
fraction of Emacs users from acquiring the technical context of the
manual. The fact that another fraction of the Emacs users find such
jokes pleasing does not change this fact.

I would also like to point out that GNUS is well-known to be
hard-to-grasp. A manual loaded with large amount of culture-specific
jokes does not help in this regard. In particular, I do find "3.16 Group
Topics" section of the manual difficult to understand precisely because
it is overloaded with jokes.

Not when the jokes stay on the way of understanding the technical parts.

This one:

3.16 Group Topics

    If you read lots and lots of groups, it might be convenient to group
    them hierarchically according to topics.  You put your Emacs groups over
    here, your sex groups over there, and the rest (what, two groups or so?)
    you put in some misc section that you never bother with anyway.  You can
    even group the Emacs sex groups as a sub-topic to either the Emacs
    groups or the sex groups=E2=80=94or both!  Go wild!

I do understand the rest as well.

> Agree. My other points remain. In particular, about joking on sex topic,

There are such newsgroups on the Usenet, so why would cracking jokes
about them be any different from cracking jokes about any other
newsgroup?

Seriously, anyone who finds that joke offensive needs to grow up and get

No, but they are not expected to understand the jokes in the manual for
a _newsreader_ either.

Agree. My other points remain. In particular, about joking on sex topic,
which is present in the same paragraph.

I do not mind not understanding. But I do prefer to have manuals written
in such a way that I can at least distinguish jokes from the technical
information I actually need to use GNUS. I admit that the paragraph
about "kill files" is clearly distinguishable as a joke. Not so much for
3.16 Group Topics where jokes and non-jokes are rather mixed.

Also, note that Gnus is also email client. Are people who intend to use
GNUS for email supposed to understand Newsgroup terminology in order to
use GNUS?

I think this joke is fairly obvious for anyone who has tried to browse a

Gnus is a news reader.  Naturally, the indended audience of the jokes in
its manual are those who read net news.  Since you don't know what a
kill or a (Gnus-specific) score file is, you can disregard that
paragraph.

The internet is for adults, not silly folk who cry about everything they
don't understand.

Sure, but what about the specific examples I provided?

Most of the jokes are contextual. And sometimes they carry an assumption
that the user is already familiar with Emacs jargon.

The guy was 20 when he wrote the now-in-retrospect mealy-mouthed and
profoundly unfunny manual.  Even I, someone who's repeatedly landed
himself in hot water ribald off-color remarks, can see his attempts at
levity and irreverence fall flat.

Gnus is, by current standards, largely shit software, so its manual is
oddly fitting.  I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks for the input!

May you also take a look at the specific sections I listed? Do you find
them easy to understand? I'd prefer to focus more on the specific
examples I raised. I feel like the discussion will go nowhere otherwise.

this is one of those manuals which a user can read end-to-end in one

I was trying to provide illustration that helps to understand the
perspective of non-USA user. Apparently, it was not helpful. Feel free
to ignore this kind of example. The previous two paragraphs are the main
statement.

Who is overgeneralizing now?

Are there such jokes in our manuals?

You are overgeneralizing.
Some jokes make larger fraction of people uncomfortable than others.
There should be a borderline.

Of course, drawing a line is tricky. However, the topics like sex and
bullying are considered uncomfortable by whole cultures, not just
individuals. I judge such jokes as over the border.

For comparison, AFAIU, joking around skin colour and race is considered
more insulting than joking around sex. In other cultures, the situation
is opposite. Would you accept joking around human races on Emacs
manuals?

Thanks for the reference. So, this sentence is not a joke. A footnote
would help for younger users, who haven't heard about Usenet. (I've
heard, but I am not familiar with English segment jargon).

It's a losing battle, but: every joke makes someone uncomfortable.
The only way of making no one uncomfortable is to never joke, and what
a sad world would that be!  (Come to think about, the only way to
never make someone uncomfortable is to say nothing at all.)

A "kill file" is a filter that discards posts you don't want to read,
ever.  For whatever reasons.  See

Hi,

I was just pointed to 3.15 Exiting Gnus, 3.16 Group Topics, and 8
Scoring sections of GNUS manual. Apparently, at least some users find
the style of these sections insulting.

While I do not object jokes per se, I do note that for a person outside
USA context or, sometimes, for a person inside USA context, jokes in the
listed section are simply distracting from understanding the described
topic.

3.15 Exiting Gnus has

   Note:

     Miss Lisa Cannifax, while sitting in English class, felt her feet
     go numbly heavy and herself fall into a hazy trance as the boy
     sitting behind her drew repeated lines with his pencil across the
     back of her plastic chair.

I am not sure if it is a joke. I only feel confused about what
information this note is trying to convey. Also, at least one other user
find this section insulting.

Further, the last sentence in

=E2=80=98z=E2=80=99
     Suspend Gnus (=E2=80=98gnus-group-suspend=E2=80=99).  This doesn=E2=80=
=99t really exit
     Gnus, but it kills all buffers except the Group buffer.  I=E2=80=99m n=
ot
     sure why this is a gain, but then who am I to judge?

is implying what? Is it just a joke? Or is it saying that the function
is useless? Discouraged? I am confused.

3.16 Group Topics

    If you read lots and lots of groups, it might be convenient to group
    them hierarchically according to topics.  You put your Emacs groups over
    here, your sex groups over there, and the rest (what, two groups or so?)
    you put in some misc section that you never bother with anyway.  You can
    even group the Emacs sex groups as a sub-topic to either the Emacs
    groups or the sex groups=E2=80=94or both!  Go wild!

Forgetting about trying to joke around the word sex (the topic, often
negatively received by, at least, some Muslim users), I simply feel
disoriented while trying to read this paragraph. I can understand the
first sentence. Is the rest of the paragraph a joke? Or are there useful
pieces of information coded inside?

After reading this info section, I feel that the amount of attempted
jokes is larger than the amount of useful information. This is
distracting (even though I do not mind an occasional joke, personally)

8 Scoring has

    Other people use =E2=80=9Ckill files=E2=80=9D, but we here at Gnus Towe=
rs like scoring
    better than killing, so we=E2=80=99d rather switch than fight.  They do
    something completely different as well, so sit up straight and pay
    attention!

For me, this paragraph is meaningless. For US users, it is some kind of
word play around sexual behavior, I guess. At least some users find "we
.. like scoring better than killing" uncomfortable. I object jokes that
make people feel uncomfortable.

Also, I fail to understand what "kill files" really refers to here. Also
some USA-specific context? Or is it Emacs killing concept? Deleting
files on file system?
