I have a folder in my emal box called bored...and it is kinda a home for email messages that don't require an immediate response. I think there might be a need for low priority email classification, but you are right, bacn is a horrible term for it.

I love bacon! What are you people trying to do to my favorite food!

I agree completely, although just the fact that so many people are talking about the word "bacn" is depressing in and of itself.

Also, while low-priority email can get tiresome, the funny thing is that this sort of email is the sort you usually get the most control over. You can just tell Facebook, or whatever site it is, to keep their mail to themselves. You don't get the same level of control over most other forms of email.

It's a topic worth discussing, but definitely not one worthy of such a ridiculous catchphrase.

I will have to agree… the term Bacn is something we can live without. I wrote a post telling the world that mrbaconpants want to make a stand against bacn.

I’m cool with people hating the word bacn. To each, his (or her) own. I just wish people had valid reasons for tearing something down, rather than passing off one’s own (limited) opinion as a rule of law for how everyone should be allowed to act / speak.
