  "Dick" is not the right word. The problem is that many people are tired of these politically correct observations. It evokes images of a polit-bureau discussing five year plans on how to increase $QUOTA.

  the recent fracas with the anti-diversity manifesto published on Google's mailing lists has people on edge, I think. there oughtn't be anything controversial about your statements, but the more right-wing people in tech have been lashing out lately.

    I was mostly offline last week and just heard about the manifest in passing. Thanks for the added context.

    Personally I'm not right-wing... Actually quite the opposite. However, I feel that to randomly comment on some perceived shortcoming of the GIT community in a post meant to celebrated a new offering (especially when the comment is randomly about the gender representation given the current events, and the dismissive defense when called out), is disingenuous and "dickish". If that wasn't the intent, then I'm sorry.

  I'm curious how that comment was taken as being a dick as well. Your original statement was fine, the follow-up was fine, from my POV. If anything, the comment about forking and requiring was dickish. /shrug
