Perhaps. And, so you know, again I'm sorry for arguing with you like this. My argument approaches non sequitur because my only point is that we should listen because I respect her. Yet seriously, why would you respect me or give an iota of a crap about something that happened to me???? I deeply apologize and swear I am not trying to offend you or be disrespectful.
The problem with disagreeing with a code like this is that arguments stink until you put them into practice. Saying a code is too vague is like saying that a design needs to pop - in the end, it means nothing until it is accompanied by an "I would have written it like this" statement with an example.
- philh 12y agoI don't think you have anything to apologize for. You haven't said anything that comes close to being offensive or disrespectful, as far as I can tell.
- washadjeffmad 12y agoIt's exactly that sort of insensitivity that makes the Open Source culture so toxic. You don't even preemptively apologize for comments that might be offensive in a way that you didn't intend because of your innate privilege. Take yourself down a few pegs and try to imagine what the world is like for everyone else who didn't have the world handed to them. Oh wait, that was an ill reasoned, assumptive, and unhelpful response made without basis or provocation. Besides not being a part of your conversation, I had no right to scold you, especially not for any of my personal beliefs, and I won't be dismissive, sarcastic, dig my heels in, or behave like a demagogue just to bolster my platform if you respond. Totes my mistake, carry on.
