Oof. You know you have a real problem when StackOverflow is your less toxic community. At least that's my experience with StackOverflow

- abrax3141 4y agoYes, we’ll, it was a real problem, but it was really just caused by a tiny number of people, almost entirely two. One really bad apple ... and all that — two in this case, but separated by many years, so the feeling had barely calmed down before another one arose. It could have happened in any community. For some reason it happened in Lisp. Shrug. Also, you need to take into account that Lisp has been in active use for over half a century!! A couple aholes in 60 years isn’t that bad a record.
- eigenspace 4y agoYes, sorry I was more taking a dig at StackOverflow there than anything. Was not in very good taste.
