Of course, I'm trying to prove a point, that's why I asked you: how many people do I need to say "me too" before it is an issue?
Avoiding the answer makes me believe that your position is essentially "it's an issue if I agree with the people, otherwise it's just provocateurs". That's fine of course, but it's really just "it is whatever I say it is" and all the stuff about feelings, offense and people are just charades because you don't want to say that.
- ianwalter 6y agoNo charades, context matters. The context surrounding your question lets me know where you're coming from and that it's not a legitimate question. If I didn't have that context, I might try to learn more about the issue. I also might not since the two scenarios are not equivalent: posting a comment on HN is not the same as stewarding a large community-involved open source project. Again, context matters.
