So which is it? Does ranting have a huge impact that keeps people out, or does it "not have the power"? And if it's powerless, why are you so eager to censor it

So which is it? Does ranting have a huge impact that keeps people out, or does it "not have the power"?
And if it's powerless, why are you so eager to censor it, then?
Also, why don't you keep in your lane and only oppress the Go community with your code of conduct? There's no need to also invade Linux.
- enneff 11y agoIt is both. It means the only people who stick around are those who can tolerate the childishness. This certainly reduces the number of capable people that are willing to contribute to the project. I don't care much how Linus acts since I don't work with him. Some people try to emulate him and I sometimes come into contact with them; that's not great for me, but far be it from me to tell Linus how to act on his own mailing list. All I'm doing here is pointing out the fallacies in your defence of his silly behaviour. Do you also prefer his hysterical style? I am hardly "invading Linux" by commenting on an HN thread.
- x1024 11y agoIf I have to choose between Linus yelling at me and you censoring any official discussion channels, I'd go with Linus every time. Now why don't you go back to your locked threads and enjoy the silence?
