    And this is BuggieBot’s comment:

    Yeah I was referencing that comment.

    Sequence of events:

    1. PR trying to change pronouns.
    2. Automated response citing policy.
    3. Author takes note of it for blog post.
    4. PR fixed and merged.
    5. Blog post published.

    Precocious, certainly, and I agree it was misguided. The blog post was indeed emotionally motivated, that’s more than clear.

    Sorry to beat a dead horse here

    It’s alright. I think these discussions need to be had.

      Right, but the policy was commit hygiene (lots of small commits), which has nothing to do with the “no politics” policy. It’s right there in the comment, and the suggestion is to squash the commits into one.

      Agreed. And unfortunately, I felt it necessary to be really wordy to not come off as supporting intolerance in any way, while still arguing that I would’ve done the same (reject 1-line cosmetic PRs).

      This is some kind of correlary to Poe’s Law, or perhaps Godwin’s Law.

        Suspiciously close to what Hitler would say… /s

          Lol, got me there.

          Hitler would probably be a formatting Nazi too. Can’t have that <insert slur> extra whitespace.
