Says things like "shitty usage of the GPG command line tool by applications" where, "shitty" is considered by some crossing a line https://github.com/golang/go/issues/30141#issuecomment-464276835 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/30141#issuecomment-46427... Both are abrasive, but in my mind, this is a cultural issue. I grew up in a judgmental, holier-than-thou religion that I rejected at an early age and then was ex-communicated from on my 18th birthday. I've lived this pattern of judgement and ostracisation. It's dangerous, closed minded, and wrong. One of the reasons I work in software is because I'm a "strange" person. I say things people don't understand, my value system is radically different from my peers and "normies". I am a very different type of person. Software was a safe place for weird people, including the productive, but sometimes abrasive. It's a shame to make software not a place for a wide range of diverse people. In my difference, I don't want my cultural differences to be targeted by witch hunts, those looking for blood to prop up their own "moral superiority". And I personally have no cultural issue with people who say things like, "shitty usage of the GPG command line tool by applications." They're welcome in my circles as I sincerely consider myself less judgmental than those calling for a ban, but perhaps in kindness I can urge people who say stuff like that to, over time, to be more kind and sensitive. Kindness is a skill that needs development. Not everyone is in the same place. It's certainly something I'm working on every day. And if not, that's okay too, not all of us are built with the same social skills, and that's okay. To _not_ be self-righteous requires long-suffering. Peter and Drew were worth more effort.
