- Khaine 9y agoPeople shouldn't be harassed online, but they should be open to having their ideas, thoughts and beliefs challenged in a respectful way.
- mdekkers 9y agoPeople shouldn't be harassed online, but they should be open to having their ideas, thoughts and beliefs challenged in a respectful way. My point was based on sarcasm :) Reading all the noise on GH yesterday, those most vocal in having this guy kicked out are also screaming loudest about the "need to feel safe" - for me, this usually induces a gag reflex: - "I am going to find where you live and do something nasty to you" <-- threat to safety - "I am not sure about the value of a CoC" <-- not a threat to safety In my personal view, all these fucking "name and shame" SJW's that sit on their high fucking horses judging people are a shameless pack of vicious fucking bullies, shrouded in virtue-signalling. If somebody goes around in projects making threats or being grossly offensive in a general sense of the word, by all means address the situation. However, this situation - like countless others - is simply a concerted bullying effort. I am not involved in node.js in any way, and stay very, very, fucking far away from any kind of open source participation after going through something similar with Sun and OpenOffice.org many years ago but this kind of bullshit makes me rage.
- Khaine 9y agoSorry, I knew you were being sarcastic. I responded because I wanted to pre-empt potential down voters. I agree with what you said above. Most people who bleat about safe spaces are the kind you need a safe space to get away from them.
