"The Holocaust" is not a racial slur in any shape form or fashion, but it is commonly accepted that a guild name specifically referring to the Judeocide is unquestionably inappropriate.

How do you know this?

nilbog said as such. you're welcome to open that line of discussion, but you would be the first. Assuming that "The Holocaust" and "Judeocide" are perfect synonyms, do you really think it's appropriate to name an everquest guild after it?

If nilbog has chatlogs of them actually making it for that purpose, then great.... get rid of it. From what I understand it is the opposite: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...42&postcount=4

The guild's name is Holocaust, not The Holocaust. Why are you changing the guild's name to make your argument? Trollocaust.

in case you missed it the first time, particles are an artefact of the English language's isolating past. (google it, you'll learn a few things). they don't convey any meaning by themselves and only exist for syntactical purposes. "A Holocaust survivor" nearly always refers to the judeocide, despite the fact that we don't say "A The Holocaust survivor."

Only when they are talking about the holocaust of jews. IF they were referring to muslims, native americans, africans or any other group of people, they would not be referring to the jewish holocaust. Thus, they would need to elaborate instead of using a generalized reference to people who aren't complete morons.

Try again.

there's nothing to try... encounter someone who says they are a holocaust survivor, and ask them what holocaust. that would be cute.

encounter any historian that makes a reference of a holocaust survivor yet doesn't give reference to time, race, religion, region. There is a great deal of probability that you would be completely wrong in assuming the survivor was jewish.

I wouldnt have a problem in the world asking them WHICH holocaust. WHAT holocaust infers the idea that one doesn't believe that it actually took place. douche

lmao. back to google he goes for justification. you do know that if more people researched the Armenian Holocaust than the Jewish Holocaust it would appear first in google right? just because there is more interest in the Jewish Holocaust than the Armenian doesnt mean that the Jews have the word on lock down.

in that case, i only mentioned google because i'm sure most people don't know what isolating/synthetic languages are.

and yes, if most people used "holocaust" to refer to the armenian genocide, then that's what the word would mean. what is your point?
