This may be difficult to see as valid or accept but this social cop stuff is actually a social problem for many of the rest of us. You can consider that a personal attack if you like. You, however, compared anyone who disagrees with you to segregation apologists. Pretty heavy smear. Being in the minority does not necessarily equal the right nor the avant garde. Every, every, every thing under the sun is a problem to someone, and ever shall it be. That women are allowed to post here is a "social problem" to quite a lot of the world. Your complaints are not so heinous, obviously, but I don’t personally find most of this anonymity issue any more valid and your implication that anyone who disagrees is less fair-minded is uncool.
Thought police posts put one’s own feelings first, elevate one’s point of view as morally superior, and in this case exclude obvious and sane critique: namely that anonymity changes nothing. If you don’t think so, go browse the racism, ignorance, hatred, and threats of youtube and yahoo comments (and Huffington Post while we’re on historical point) for a couple of hours where every user is signed in with an account. There is no faster path to “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.”
We exchange expertise here. That’s the value. There is zero value and quite a bit of harm in changing that mission to one of: we treat each other with complete equity and the lowest common denominator of pablumized international etiquette and then maybe the perl. Or else! You seem like a nice person. I am too. Let’s keep doing that and get back to code.
In reply to Re^3: Let's get back on point, please
