Political Propoganda is Inappropriate and Distracting #286

Closed NetherGranite closed 6 years ago

NetherGranite commented 6 years ago

Before you just lock and close this issue and prevent further discussion, @rtyley, I think that regardless of one's political stance:

  1. It is inappropriate to use opensource software as a political platform. How would you feel if a pull request successfully introduced pro-Trump propaganda into BFG?
  2. lt is very hard to read the output of BFG when 10 lines are taken up by irrelevant information every single time BFG is run.

For those who are curious, this has been brought up in #205, #206, #210, #222, #223, #248, #266, and #274. It appears that every single one has been locked by the owner, @rtyley, to prevent any further discussion.

An attempt to revert this can be found at #256. This was also locked by the owner.

Edit: If you would like to use this project without the political message, you can find a fork of it here.
