Of course not. The provided quote from Eric S. Raymond -- who, in my mind, is more of someone who intelligently analyzes these matters better than most people than is someone popular/ famous/ worshipped -- is to illustrate the 14

So coming back to what I said - as long as you dispassionately and sensibly point out the injustice being done in the name of justice, what is the problem? Our fear is what makes the SJW shaming tactics effective. Men -- men in tech in part

Although there are complex emotions involved on top of "his own boner" - I agree with the substance of your post. Reading joostdevries's comment reminds me of how much people still undervalue the power of instinctual passio

Not thinking about or expressing doesn't necessarily falsity it, much less serve as a reason to castigate someone at HN for pointing it out, albeit in a sentimental way. Is it really that hard, even in this supposedly liberalized day a
