Except the occasional fundy trying to throw the idea into the list every couple months using every tone from appeasement to outright fire and brimstone. I've never seen anyone take it seriously. Everyone here knows all the history of the word, many know the history of Beastie himself, and so far as I know, none have any plans to change him. > Oh please, wake me up, it's a nightmare!!!
