You're hilarious when you justify "removing a Historical topic from the Historical section because the mod didn't like the historical fact".
Your post was wrong. Turing did not go to prison. Thus, it wasn't historic in nature.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Old people have allot of value, especially when it comes to word puzzles.
Also people who post words claiming they learned them and then don't post the definition of said word are not in my consanguinity neighborhood. Despite how cool their armored wolves look.

I just found out that the first episode of a TV series is called Pilot because it's "On Air"

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
