If you have a valid reason, I'd do the pencil thing. I'm busy a lot of the time. I still can do stuff for people. I'm confused how the pencil hypothetical is related. The terminology has a reason. The pencil moving has no reason. I gave specific reasons why the terminology matters to people. The hypothetical is irrelevant. The DDOS is also out of scope. This all seems incredibly unimportant. There doesn't appear to be any principle behind not moving the pencil or not going along with terminology changes. > It is very important for my workflow to be consistent over time for efficiency. Life is about other people too. Not just ourselves. You have a small minor issue while others have actual grievances. How is using main instead of master ruining your efficiency? Life changes. Stuff changes. Progress happens.

I am sorry, but you seem to not understand key points of what I am saying, or appear to be deliberately ignoring them, and/or things said previously. So I have to conclude this conversation, as you have all the answers you demand above. For instance: > Why are these people refusing to comply to something so unimportant? > I'm confused how the pencil hypothetical is related. Here's the answer. Connect the dots. > The terminology has a reason. > The problem is to be triggered by etymology. Here's the answer. > There doesn't appear to be any principle behind not moving the pencil or not going along with terminology changes. > There are more important things to spend any kind of effort than to please someone who's (demands are unimportant). Here's the answer. > Life is about other people too. Not just ourselves. You have a small minor issue while others have actual grievances. > When performed by a mob, it is a DDoS attack, and the reason to not comply with it is the same reason people block sources of the DDoS attacks. Here's one answer. > I never said it is unimportant. It is very important for my workflow to be consistent over time for efficiency. Here's the other. > How is using main instead of master ruining your efficiency? > very important for my workflow to be consistent over time for efficiency. Here's the answer.

  I don't think calling something main instead of master is going to ruin your efficiency.

    You seem the same as the other commenter, who ignores that: 1. It is certainly not free in terms of efficiency, and 2. It affects millions of other people, which makes it a big problem. Imagine every Honda car would shuffle dashboard buttons once a month. Every one individually can tolerate that, but added together it would be a huge problem. So precisely like spam.

        > No one responding to you knows one another. The politics of people responding to you vary widely. Everyone agrees you’re wrong. That’s a huge indicator to take some time and self reflect. Man, there are 3 people under my topmost comment, including myself. And the one who is neither you nor me claimed I am against discussing the topic in the discussion of the topic which I started. Imagine how ridiculous this statement of yours is from my perspective in the light of that.
