Just genuine curiosity because I like this site and like how active you are in constructively moderating it: Why not simply ban people who have crossed the line this badly for this long? It certainly doesn't seem heavy handed or unfair

My rule of thumb for advice on the Internet is that if it is mostly in the form of statements like "You need to do X, Y and Z" and has very few questions intended to dig deeper into the nuances of the product and business model...

Why are you wasting all these words on something that is not at the top of your sorted list? What is the most important problem in the world?

I think you're right in that blaming Microsoft without any evidence is probably a mistake, but I also think "until the official statement, it isn't Microsoft failure" is putting a bit too much faith in corporate PR as a

The answers to all these questions are known and public when I vote. I know who counts them, where the figures are sent and who verifies them.

No they can not. I put my ballot in a locked box filled with other ballots. It's not like I hand my ballot to a person and ask them to please record my vote.

Just to be clear, is it your position that voter disenfranchisement does not happen in the United States?

I'm still confused. I am completely free to choose whether or not to do business with them, but I am not allowed to tell them about my choice? Or am I not allowed to speak about it at all, regardless of who listens?

I'm not dismayed at all, and would appreciate it if you could refrain from painting pictures of what you think my state of mind might be. Thanks. Are you saying that I am breaking the law by telling a company that I will not do busines

Ok I'm confused so can you please help me? My example was absolutely a "threat" in the sense that yes, I in that example would be serious about voicing my opinion and my intention to not voluntarily do business with that imag

I agree with everything you said. Can you comment on my question though?

Sure, is my choice to boycott a company also an act of oppression?

If I inform a corporation that I will not do business with them while a person is in their employment, am I oppressing that person or am I using my freedom of speech?

Did anyone ask you to feel guilt or to apologize?

> "just ship it" is just as dumb as "never ship it". Why are people so prone to these oversimplified polarazations? Are they precisely equally dumb according to measurements, or did you oversimplify to make a point?

I don't think there's need to ascribe some "Want to use X like it's Y" intentions to people. The tagline "simplifies your development workflow" certainly doesn't make me think of Dropbox at least. May
