You can't honestly be serious, Doc. We don't
write an article about
"that company that starts with an M and made the popular operating
system that starts with a W", we write about Microsoft and Windows.
When we write about The Pirate Bay, we don't say "Well, there's this
one website out there that distributes pirated software", we identify
and name them, despite the highly-questionable legality of what
they're doing. When we write about things, we identify and mention
them. Now, of course, as always, we must require reliable sourcing. If
no reliable sources publish the actual string, we can't verify it, so
we can't publish it. But if they do, we mirror that, by identifying
and naming it. Even -if- some people are acting badly in trying to
force the issue, that's the way we do it with anything, and that's the
way we should do it here.
Not true. For example:
