Really. Well, folks are free for a few more minutes to go the thread "Odd Etymologies" themselves, and ask why it was closed.

Censorship is the only reasonable answer, of course.

There weren't any personal attacks. There was nothing controversial--hell, it was barely even provocative.

It took Rev Wright's comment today that the word "damn" came from "D E M N" etymologically, which is most certainly does not. We were discussing the OED etymologies, when the thread was suddenly closed.
