in both of those cases, i would still not need to know "what holocaust." that's the great thing about context in language.
And in either case - both of these events are still inappropriate for a guild name. this doesn't really strengthen your case, it makes it weaker, and it makes you look foolish. i know you're smarter than that.

Then you agree based on context that a guild in Everquest ( a fantasy world ) would not refer to any holocaust so long as the guild name was < Holocaust > ( a generic term ).
As when playing on a MMORPG (note RPG stands for Role Playing Game) where there are not any Jews, Native Americans, or Muslims (or any other real world race/group has undergone a holocaust) then the word is without real world context and should be allowed ( as it has been ).
It certainly did not hurt my "case"
General word used in the #1 most commonly accepted use is allowed. Sorry, try again.
