Subject: Offensive names to the Judaism? |
| |
Hello,
I've recently started playing the BGs with my shaman (Kragus, 52 tauren shaman, Stormscale), and I have seen very offensive Hebrew names on the alliance side. The most offensive of them all was the name "Elohim", by a lvl 60 human paladin. "Elohim" in Hebrew means "God", and religious people aren't even allowed to say it out loud. I think that you should search your database for "Elohim"'s and advice them to change their name.
I mean, if "God" is censored, so should "Elohim" be (I never saw a player named "God" roaming around).
Thank you for your time :).
P.s.
I'm not a religious jew, but I do believe in god, and so do some of my friends. It is also very wierd kicking god's ass in battle (I just had a "/target elohim" macro)... ;)
Note: I know the board's nature of every post getting flamed, but please be kind with this post. I think this is a real issue.
For the Horde!
