I downvoted it because of the suggestion that the only reason anyone would be a "merge person" is because they are afraid or stupid.
It isn't helpful in any discussion to just say "side X are afraid and stupid.", and especially not without a good justification.
No-one has (I believe) ever thought "Oh wow, I didn't realise I was being afraid and/or stupid, thanks for telling me. Now I'll change sides".
- hashkb 10y agoYou're right. I'm frustrated from years of arguing against FUD; I didn't mean to say that 100% of merge-folk are ignorant or afraid, or that none of them have well reasoned points. I should have written "I'm saddened by how often I run into staunch defenders of the merge flow who, when put to the test, can't execute the equivalent rebase" because it happens all the time.
