Prevention and Ending of Defamation by CNN

We are hackers, and friends of hackers, and we are tired of our proud title being used in a wrong, pejorative, and defaming manner. Hackers are creative, and creators. The word you mean to use was coined by RMS, also known by the mundane name Richard Stallman, in the early 80s: cracker. Crackers are those who cause harm, hackers are those who prevent it, and when they fail repair it. They are the ones who make such useful items as Google, and GNU/Linux.

You stopped using the words negro and midget as both are offensive. You stopped using gay in a pejorative sense. Please stop using hacker in a pejorative sense.
