I guess I have to step in here. You both  are talking about the German Nazi expression "Endlösung", in English Final Solution, which was referred to the (in Nazi speech)  inhuman expression of "Jewish solution", which planned the and ended in genozide, Holocaust.

Now, first of all, Pensa is an not native English speaker. So even if "Final solution" has become a fix term in English language the same as in Germany, I find it a bit harsh from Dusty and also Pottel to push to it this somewhat secretly or almost arrogant way instead of just saying clearly what your problem is.

I am German and I read Pensa's post yesterday, believe it or not, and I absolutely did not think about that term the slightest, which of course is because I am not an English Native speaker myself. So maybe it's a little too much to ask from people who use not their mother tongue to care about really all historical and political intensions of any text? The good message of Pensa's post should have at least be commented by the two of you as well, don't you think? I am sure you will not intend to assume that Pensa used that term intensionally?

Deffo did not think he used it on purpose!

Ok then. If I would have been Pensa I probably would have preferred a clear answer as I know that both of you are eloquent enough normally instead of those hints. Maybe that got me going. His first answer showed clearly that he had no clue what you were talking about. Hate to get involved in stuff like this but felt I had to say something. Sometimes it's hard to shut up. I leave again. Bye!

Love Expresso it was a great clarification.

In France too we are avoiding using that term [when referring to something that is not related to The Holocaust].

I’m sure it was unintentional, I just said it was unfortunate.

It surprises me things like that are being discussed at all, of course it was unintentional. Luckily, for Russia this term is extremely formal ("Okonchatelnoe reshenie"), nobody says it like that except for this situation. It was hilarious when in late 90s Nokia did in fact use the motto "Jedem das Seine" in their marketing campaign, by which made A LOT of people angry.

Once upon a time, there was a teacher who wants his pupils to tell him what he's just drawn on the slate. A boy named Axle would always be first to come with the solution, and it was a bottom, a poo, a teat, a willy, and a such things. Finally, the teacher warned him, "Axle, please stop your shenanigans at once!"
Axle responded: "How is that? it's all you! As if it's me who draws it all over!
