there are people out there who are bound to be offended by anything (you know who you are, and you are probably even offended by this message). Don't let it discourage you. I know a ton of people really enjoyed that little surprise. Just as it makes users feel good to see how active you are in this forum, it's great to see that an application as "boring" as a text editor can have a bit of fun.

The rape and human sacrifice was posted on my blog [1], the God of
the dead (yeah, I misspelled it in the release notes) was a personal
comment.
I think I got a dozen or so complaints, which though is nothing
compared to how much positive feedback I got -- so I took it as an
interesting sociological experience :)
And, while this wasn't meant to be a PR stunt, sales and web traffic
doubled in the two days we had the theme, which makes it quite ironic
to then read feedback such as I am losing my professional reputation
etc. ;)
