I think it's a legitimate topic to discuss. I think the name of an app or project is very important to its success.

I'm not offended over the name, but simply curious as to why they chose it. I personally wouldn't choose a controversial name if I wanted my app or project to be adopted by others.

I'm not sure how "Cocaine experience" would look on a resume. The amount of extra explanation it will necessitate is a potentially large burden.

That's the conclusion this forum came to every other time we talked about it too :)

There are also likely to be misunderstandings when communities start forming local Cocaine User Group chapters. There might be difficulty in getting space for meetings, and it will be interesting to see who might show up.
