A few things need correcting.
I did not claim that people should feel happy on Stack Overflow. My claim is that it is not a toxic wasteland. That is it. I understand people have bad experiences on the site and I hope I can offer some good suggestions to SO on how to improve.
Building a straw man around "raping or killing" isn't going to work. Toxicity has a lower threshold and nowhere did I insinuate this was where the threshold was.
- KirinDave 8y agoIf "raping and killing" were not your threshold why did you bring it up?
- ThoAppelsin 8y agoI believe it is just a manner of speech to talk about the extremes to claim the innocence of your defendant. Without such examples, declaring Stack Overflow as a saint would sound dull.
- KirinDave 8y agoHaving seen this exact line of reasoning used to reject varying levels of harassment in a variety of settings, I do not believe this.
