There is a difference between "should" (which is clearly an opinion) and "must" (which implies some level of force to back it up).
- pdonis 7y ago> There is a difference between "should" (which is clearly an opinion) and "must" (which implies some level of force to back it up). "Should" can turn into "must" very quickly when the "force to back it up" is obtained. So the time to object is at the "should" stage. If you wait until the "must" stage, it's too late. (Note that "cancel culture", when it reaches the "must" stage, which is exactly what it's trying to do with FOSS projects, does not tolerate dissenting opinions.)
