I believe this is addressed in the "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" section. If Stack Overflow is anywhere near as toxic as some people have suggested, this would seem to be a reasonable method of encouraging people to prove it.
One of the often repeated comments of several popular conservative "speakers" (Shapiro, although I think I've heard something similar from Peterson, Crowder, etc.) is that if you present proof of a specific problem they would be happy to work with anyone and everyone to resolve it. A generous interpretation of the author could be that they want to see Stack Overflow succeed, and by addressing this potential issue directly they can fix it, if it does exist at all.
- KirinDave 9y agoWho anywhere has suggested that Stack Overflow is 10% rape and murder threats? This is an absurd standard that is being advanced. Of course I can't prove that. I never wanted to. The author is using a straw man so potent he can comfortably put a lot of money behind it.
- TedPetrou 9y agoWhy is your reading comprehension so bad?
- KirinDave 9y agoOh I'm sorry, did you NOT set a threshold of 10% and then say, and I quote, "In an internet filled with people wishing you were dead or raped (see YouTube comments sections), Stack Overflow is a saint." Sorry for drawing the obvious conclusion: that that's where you draw the line. Maybe, Ted, just maybe... no one needed your opinion, your shoddy poll, your patronizing fake bounty, your bait and switch methodology, or your Dawkins-style rant about how people should be grateful they aren't the direct victims of violence. Maybe you had nothing positive to add, and you're feeling clap-back because what you did add was so bad even Stack Overflow walked back from you.
