This begs the question: Will gay bakers have to accept orders for cakes with homophobic slurs? I don’t think LGBT people should be forced to promote anti-gay messages.
Such slurs would be hate speech, no? That seems like an important distinction.

and the rattlesnakes noticed the commotion. There are quite a few dead cows in that previous topic now for that topic to continue.
So, here is a restart... this is an interesting topic, so feel free to discuss again. However, please remember that this topic is in the rattlesnake pit. Please keep your cows from venturing to close to the rattlesnakes. And my condolences to those who lost cows in the previous topic.

Um, Maneesh, you do realize that one of Trump's main campaign planks was basically shutting down the offshoring of American work, don't you?![]()
Yup. Had heard/read about it. Dont think it will happen.
iPhones made in China. Dont see Apple changing it because Trump tells them to.
India is a HUGE market. 128 crore people. Ford, Chevorlet, Lee, Levis, Coke, Pepsi. Dont see them changing because Trump says so.
At the end of the day Money is king. Trump is a bu$ine$$man.

I did nothing of the sort. I simply relayed an observation and posed the question of whether my observation was representative of a broader pattern. You are also quite right to pose the opposite question of how prevalent that pattern is throughout the Clinton voters.

There's only one rule: be nice.
I get what you mean though - forum conventions or something.

Actually the moderators do try to enforce the idea of Use A Meaningful Subject Line in cases when it's necessary. Although it's not really one of the forum rules, just a polite suggestion. There's only one rule. And as somebody already said (it was you actually), most of the subject lines are meaningful.

It does end up affecting others. We are all here to learn and if I log in looking to learn about generics and someone asks a generics question but with a subject line that suggests String concatenation, I'll end up ignoring the thread because I want to learn about generics; not String concatenation. This affects me because I could have learnt something useful about generics but I haven't due to a non-descriptive subject line.

A subject is the one thing that entices users of a forum to read a post and so it is advisable to make it as descriptive as possible.

Yes, that is correct. Though truthfully, i thought that was obvious. Thank you for explaining it.
