I thought the squid and the octopus belonged to different orders. Squids and octopuses are currently offended by not being given the correct levels of differentiation

I guess you have no experience with muslims being offended over more trivial matters?
"TheMuslim" would be less offensive, even if it's still childish and misleading, to distill Ali's multifaceted character as a world champion boxer, humanitarian, and leader into the label "muslim". Which both now, and back then, has connotations of "the Other" to most westerners. But adding the slang "de" in front further diminishes the man and associates the term "muslim" with lower class, pidgin-speaking foreigners. And the guy who has this ID is a male-privileged white kid.

Lmao. Yes. Exactly.

HuK's builds look just a little bit too 'middle of the road,' and it doesn't help that he misses his twilight timing fairly often...two idle double forges aren't so fun.
Also I claim victory over this 'your ID should match what you are' business.

I'm no expert in pvt, but wouldn't  First's style be better suited against this timing. Getting templar first then go into collosi....
As long as you don't stay on pure gate units forever you can hold whatever terran attack is coming.
Huk just kinda...picks a random idea and sticks with it wether it's good or bad. I've seen him:
not get aoe vs terran for insanely long
not get colossi vs zerg going swarm host
go tempest vs colossi while having a one base econ in pvp
If you can somehow engage more than perfectly yeah you MIGHT be able to pull off silly shit like that, but generally it's never, ever, EVER going to work vs someone of even skill. Huk could do it in 2011 because he IS really damn good at battle tactics and micro, especially on a good day, but now he's just fallen off so he gets punished for stupid builds like those. I mean, he DID defend a 4gate with a double gas first mothership rush once in beta...

1. Ali branded himself in that manner at times.
2. The 'pidgin English' is how a lot of the youth speak in England, especially in inner-city London. I gather Demu is from Nottingham, and being unaware of the parlance there can't really speak for that area.
I love how you are defended the honour of Muslims, but your justification for speaking for that rather large subsection of the world's population is that 'they get offended over trivial matters'

Nitpick: the plural of "octopus" is either "octopuses" or "octopodes". Octopi is an hypercorrection, see http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/octopus

I'm not offended. It is a trivial matter. It's still a godawful, stupid name.
