I ask y'all to stop this unproductive line of discussion. |

Via your logic, aparently regardless of the sanity of the request, it |
18 |
must be followed. |

Bluntly, this logic, this conversation, and Sebastian sticking his |
21 |
nose into people joking with eachother in in #-infra is blown |
22 |
seriously out of proportion (for reference I was the one who stated |
23 |
"sorry, but _you're_ the one not finding it funny"). The PC level |
24 |
inplicit in this is farcical enough it belongs in a monty python |
25 |
sketch. Hell, even the exherbo smackdown earlier on ciaran was out |
26 |
of proportion (his points were valid and civil, even if you don't |
27 |
agree with them). |

Simply put, you gauge your tone dependant on your surroundings. You |
30 |
don't go into a funeral chanting Carlin's 7 words you can't say |
31 |
on television, and you do not go into someone's home and tell them |
32 |
what they can/cannot say. |
33 |
|
34 |
If you cannot understand this simple fact, then you're going to have |
35 |
many, many ackward social interactions with the rest of humanity. |
36 |
|
37 |
Why? Because you're going around telling other people how *you* want |
38 |
them to act, instead of what is *communally* agreed to. |

Tolerance cut's both ways. The people making the noise on this thread |
41 |
seem to be missing the bidirectional nature however. |
42 |
|
43 |
Finally, take the thread to -project... it's well past being even |
44 |
remotely technical. |
