I'm not directing this at anyone in particular and so I will use "bad", yet colorful, words for people behaving bad. No one is going to read these comments and think they are the neckbeards, but most people who have participated in Stack Overflow have interacted with a preening, sneering neckbeard and neckbeards are indeed a problem on Stack Overflow.
- grzm 9y agoThe idea that it's ever okay to use language that demeans other people—in their presence, directed at them, or elsewhere—is part of the culture that allows people feel that it might be okay to do so directly. It's a habit we all should be working to break.
- _kst_ 9y agoSpeaking as someone who happens to have a full beard, I find your use of the slur "neckbeard" insulting. Find another way to say whatever you meant.
