I don't understand your using the headline "Why do we tolerate...". This particular discussion in no way, shape, or form involves me. Maybe it involves you but it doesn't involve me. So why do you say this is about we?
In other words, I don't care what/how they treat each other in their own forum because it's not my business or care. If Mauro, Linus, or other members of that forum don't like it, then they should do something about it. It's elitist of you to try to make it any bigger than that. It's silly and asinine of you to say that I "tolerate" such behavior when, in fact, I had nothing to do with it (nor will I).
- caw 14y agoSome people take the perspective that by not speaking out about something, you by implicitly accept how it is, or even embrace it.
- ScottWhigham 14y agoYeah, I get that, but clearly OP has taken liberties here to correlate "Everyone on HN" and "Everyone on the gmane.org site". It's just silly to bring "us" into this argument. We have nothing to do with that site. If he/you/they/anyone argues otherwise, then the logical counter argument is "So I'm supposed to police every internet fight about everything I like or identify with now?" It's just fallacy to think that this is anyone's fault other than the people involved.
