Political spam #404

Closed funct7 closed 3 years ago

funct7 commented 3 years ago

I know there are duplicate issues. You can spam people all you want. Also, people can bother you all they want because they don't like it.

(BTW this is how people feel.)

I would have left you alone if there wasn't a sanctimonious speech. People who know and understand much better than you don't act sanctimoniously.

oganm commented 3 years ago

Do you ever listen to yourself mate... You can't unilaterally declare how you feel as "how people feel" and your speech as "sanctimonious". You're just a guy on the internet trying to silence an opinion you don't like. Don't pretend to have a moral high ground

@oganm

  1. I can if there are others also raising the same issue.
  2. I never pretended to have a moral high ground. You see things that aren't there.
  3. All I'm saying is there's a time and place for everything. I have a good reason to believe you don't like evangelizing Christians. Guess why people don't like them. People don't like it because they do it out of place. Obviously you can't even tell the difference between silencing an opinion and telling people to put things where they belong.

    your speech as "sanctimonious".

  4. What?

If you believe that code, science, engineering etc should be kept separate from politics, please do remember that software is written by real live breathing people who live in the real world and may not have the luxury of ignoring politics.

A good example of not knowing the right place and time (and being sanctimonious). I suggest you end every meeting at work with a speech about BLM. You'll have people hating BLM in no time, probably for a reason that has nothing to do with BLM.

In the end, Carthage was destroyed. The entire point of protest speech is to take things out of their expected place and time. Now unless you consider this a protest as well, continually pestering someone about a previously closed issue is just harassment. And when I don't like you because of this, it won't be because you moved protest speech into Github issues, it will be because I don't like your opinions. Just like I how I don't like evangelizing Christians because I don't like their opinions. And let me take a leap of faith and guess that you don't like kneeling footballers, not because they did something out of order but because the underlying ideas they support.

This is a duplicate issue - see https://github.com/rtyley/bfg-repo-cleaner/pull/198#issuecomment-286301000 and https://github.com/rtyley/bfg-repo-cleaner/issues/205#issuecomment-285049770. If you believe that code, science, engineering etc should be kept separate from politics, please do remember that software is written by real live breathing people who live in the real world and may not have the luxury of ignoring politics. Here are some examples where this is viscerally true:
