> "Did you have a gun pointed at your head?" How did we get here? Because people on the internet continually use this highly charged language without regard. It is high time we as a community (at least on HN) commit to stop using such language. We don't need to use such language. We don't need it. We can easily make our points without it. For example: > "stuck"? There are many alternatives to systemd. There are many distributions which do not use it. While keeping with the intent, this replacement no longer uses the violent language and also no lessens the attack on the parent commenter. We should in general: 1. Not use violent language 2. Not attack commenters 3. Use non-adversarial language whenever possible.
