Do you realize that Linus most likely took a break because of this, and you talk about basic human decency? How about supporting the work of intellectual giants, and not worrying so much when their communication style doesn't match you

It's ironic that you think the reason they don't want to create an environment to avoid using a CoC that prohibits mockery is that they are afraid of being mocked. I also don't think this rejection of PC culture is as silly a

I agree, but furthermore after you get to a certain level of skill, you pretty much have a free pass to cheat if you like. To wit, I don't think many people suspected Billy Mitchell of cheating until there was undeniable proof of that

Why is he in a better position? She probably will try to manipulate him more than a stranger trying to help. Also, he is bound to get triggered interacting with her. I would think he would be in a worse position to help her then others.

I have to ask, why is it his responsibility? If his childhood is so bad that he has no connection to her why should he work to improve her life rather than the life of any other homeless or mentally ill people? It's like a double whamm

I'd like to agree with you here, but government moves slowly. Things might get done in the future, if our representatives are pushed hard enough. You can't expect a "move fast and break things" attitude because that will

I don't think there would be so many parking lots needed. Cars today spend most of their time not in use, which is why we need such large amounts of area to store them.
