It is a sad sign of our times: a post complaining about sexism - edited to change a hyperbole for a more politically correct phrasing. Sigh.

It is a sad sign of our times: a post complaining about sexism - edited to change a hyperbole for a more politically correct phrasing. Sigh.
- angersock 12y agoIt's not politically correct...the author of the comment was acknowledging that the word choice used was incorrect, and amended (not edited!) their comment to show a different phrase. When discussing things of a delicate nature, where precision matters and thoughtless wordchoice will easily derail any useful discussion, having such scruples is something to celebrate and not mock.
- heterogenic 12y agoI was under the impression that amending > editing if the text in question had been discussed or quoted. In the (extremely) unlikely event that I post here again, I'll be sure to stealth edit any changes instead.
- angersock 12y agoEh? Stealth edits are lame...amendments (as you did) I think are strictly better.
- anonbanker 12y agowell, then thank you for choosing to improve the signal-to-noise ratio at HN by opting not to post again.
- scardine 12y agoI remember the time when nobody would care about the pictures or the word choice. And boy, I miss it!
