I think that insufficient people in the open source and free software |
| 12 |
movements realize that in the real world there are differing cultures all of |
| 13 |
whom have differing sensitivities to language constructs. |

imnsho it's very important not to cause deliberate offense, because doing so |
| 16 |
perpetuates the idea that FOSS movement people are an unpleasant bunch of |
| 17 |
individuals. This causes users to make the choice of using computer products |
| 18 |
from elsewhere, and developers to spend their free time doing other things. |
