You seem to be taking offense, and I don't understand why.
Can you help me understand?

I didn't mean any offense.

Sorry, I don't follow.  What is derogatory about "gimp"?  I understand
it to mean a person who walks a little unevenly, perhaps due to a
long-ago leg injury.

                                                  but GNU is refusing to

The GNU Project can't "rename" a GNU package just by saying so.
It would be the wrong way to treat the GIMP developers.  It would
be the wrong way to treat you, too.

I suggest we all reread the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines and
think about how they might apply to this conversation.  They help us
avoid hurting each other's feelings.
