So you're saying he's deliberately but perhaps covertly telegraphing the message "white people, don't talk to me"? Because if not, "don't talk to progressive blacks" is the message you took away not the one he sent . > I am on the re

More than a grudge motive, wouldn't that be straight-up perjury? If I remember my own experience correctly, we were under oath during jury selection.

Or maybe the basic principle is to try to understand the perspective of the person you're talking to. Don't speak defensively - be open and willing to acknowledge and apologize and correct yourself when a mistake you make is pointed out to

Yo, based on the copious number of comments you've made addressing this I know you're super concerned about that single anecdote from within a larger context, but she didn't get her head bitten off, unless for some weird reason you're readi

EVERY narrator has an agenda. Personally I appreciate it when an author doesn't pretend to objectivity.

Speak for yourself. I want to hear his pain and frustration. I want to identify with his despair in the face of a type of idiocy I will never personally experience as a straight white cis male. I want to hear the shrill, flawed voice of mel

This needs some editing by a more experienced English speaker if it's to be widely read.

The sweet spot, I think, is a nice "getting started" guide along with an discoverable API design. The guide gives prospective users an idea what it's like to use the library, and the discoverableness means they'll be able to figure out the

The gingerbread comment is silly, but I think that any supposed anti-ginger prejudice in the U.S. is firmly tongue-in-cheek. I don't think I've ever heard anyone seriously disparage red-haired people here.
