bboy_mn:

I think Voldemort hates muggles for what they have done to him. In his
warped distorted eyes, a muggle corrupted him; contaminated him, and
that is unforgivable.

Speaking as Voldemort:
My lineage and heritage have been destroyed. My blood has been
contamnated by foul muggle blood; I have been corrupted. We must make
sure that this abomination never happens to another wizard. We must
fight to mantain the purety of wizard blood and preserve our heritage
for all time. Follow me and I will lead you to a great new age of
wizards. Where pure wizards will rule and those contaminated by filthy
mudblood will be destroy. Let no other wizard child have to endure the
self-hatered that I endure. Follow me and I will give the purebloods
wealth and power beyond all their dreams. I and I alone, the greatest
wizard of all time, can lead you to this great victory. ...oh yeah,
and I will be king of the universe, you will all call me lord, and
spend all your time kissing my scalely bu... Robe... my robe.. the
heam of my robe. Seems fair to me.

Me again:
see my point?

Think about magic and how it is invoked. It is usually invoked with
words. Words are not merely the power to offend in the wizard world,
the are the power to create and destory. So some words are treated
with great caution. I seriously doubt that wizard having a
conversation about 'Avada Kedavra' sit around saying the words over
and over again as they talk. I'm sure the say 'the killing curse' or
the ' deadly forbidden curse', because using the words might
accidentally invoke the charm. Much too dangerous. So words are
extremely powerful things that are treated with great respect.

Now for peoples names. How do you call the devil? You do it by
speaking his name. Anybody remember the movie 'Beetle Juice' (probably
spelled wrong, but you know what I mean). How were they able to call
Beetlejuice to their aid? How did they call him to their side? They
said his name three times. To invoke the name of satan is to call him
to your side. To invoke the name of Voldemort is to call him to your side.

Also, Voldemort was very mysterious, no one really knows much about
him. Now that he seems to be gone, you could be talking ill of him,
only to discover that he is sitting at the next table. A very
dangerous thing to do. The devil does not like to be insulted, and he
does not easily forgive such insults. There is also a possiblity that
one of satan's angels (death eater) might be near by and take vengence
of his own, or inform satan (Voldemort) that you spoke ill of him. 

No... if you want to keep the devil out of your life, it's best to
never speak of him. If possible, it's best to never even think of him.
 Best to let the devil rest.

See my point? In world where words have powerful magic, the last thing
you want to do is incant the word that calls evil to your side.

Just a few thoughts. Although, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
