It's a metaphor for a process. Calling people names like "maxxers" is unhelpful and probably against the rules here.

If one group wants to serve water and another wants to serve cyanide, the right answer is not to mix the two, it's to serve water and to end the careers of the people who wanted to serve cyanide.

- JoshTriplett 3mo agoYou are dismissing things as "maximalist", which is not conducive to treating certain things as sacrosanct. For example: end-to-end encryption is sacrosanct, and must not be broken, ever. If you want access, your only option should be to serve one of the ends a warrant. That's not "maximalist", that's holding to a principle.
