To be fair, the person stating that Python 3 breakage was a fantastic decision probably should've avoided referring to that as such, as it almost certainly invites disagreement on a controversial topic.
- pvg 8y agoNo, that's giving the flamemongers a flamer's veto. It's a perfectly sensible thing to mention when talking about the difficulties of leading the Python project and offering an opinion on how Guido van Rossum handled them. Picking out that one opinion and yelling little more than 'fite me' back at the person is not a perfectly sensible thing.
- Bahamut 8y agoThen if someone disagrees & an argument erupts, then that should not be surprising - that post is equally as culpable for igniting a well-discussed issue by posting something clearly so opinionated/leaning towards one side of an issue that at this point one should have known better than to even allow a conversation to digress in that direction if that person wants to avoid that discussion. To ignore that is to straight up deny what can only be described as flamebait.
- pvg 8y agoIt is not flamebait to say 'I think so-and-so handled a difficult problem well', especially as part of larger point. It's flamy to respond 'u wat m8?'. It's not a complicated thing and there's no 'fairness' in treating these things as the same.
