    No need to be aggressive. If that’s your position then so be it. I just figured I must have missed an apology or something.

    And if it’s not about wasting time, then I don’t get why they then spent time adding a code of conduct that reads to me as codifying tolerance of bigotry (it says “Participants will be tolerant of opposing views”, which in context reads to me as a doubling down that participants must tolerate non-inclusiveness as an “opposing view”). If they really cared about not wasting time then why not just accept the PR to make the language inclusive instead of wasting time creating drama and doubling down with a code of conduct that flies in the face of the paradox of tolerance.

      I’m not aggressive. Don’t be condescending. I used caps instead of making it bold. And I use cursewords whenever the fuck I want.

      1. He doesn’t need to give an apology. You’re making this a thing which seems to prove his point.

      2. The PR is just a waste of a PR because it does nothing and it stems from what at the time was a very political bullshit issue. Allowing the PR would provide a foundation to make everything that isn’t pronoun-correct to be able to get attacked. And you don’t want that in a project.

      3. It’s not bigotry because it doesn’t matter what pronoun one uses in DEV DOCUMENTS. Use whatever the hell you want. It’s only an issue if it’s facing the end user. Anything else is just annoying and comes from an agenda. And it’s best to stop people with agendas as fast as possible.

      4. The same response would have been given if somebody were to try to change an inclusive pronoun to an exclusive pronoun. But that seems to be something people don’t even want to accept.
