Geeez!  Give us a break will you.  Rants like this just make people
not want to bother taking part in the discussions.

Yes, "filtered revocation" is a better name for it.  I only mentioned
"selective revocation" because I believe we used that term during
some discussions.

Lesson learned: It's better to just shut the f*ck up and do something
useful instead of wasting your time only to receive elitist abuses.
