    3 posts about… pronouns in the build log?

    If you go through life looking for things to take offense, you will always be outraged.

      One doesn’t have to go looking, there’s lots of assholes who think it’s “apolitical” to assume that everyone working in software is a dude.

        Bad example at the end though, loads of of people use “dude” as a gender neutral term though. But yeah I take your meaning about assuming men in dev.

      an abrasive rejection to a polite change request

      Does offense have to factor into it when judging a behavior as undesirable?

        I was referring to OP, who decided today was the day to stir up a 3 year old PR on a small project run by a volunteer.

        That’s not the way to gain allies.

          Ah I see. Could have easily been all in one thread.

          I only became aware of Ladybug recently from another post here so I found this PR informative and unfortunate even though it’s old. If this no longer represents their views and potential future behavior then why bring it up, else it’s not aged.

      This is what I tell my sister. She got angry at me for hanging my hats on these little hooks that hang off of closet doors. I have many hats, and not much room. She got mad that the outside of my closet door had hats on it.
