    Yikes. You "empathetic" activists are consistently some of the meanest, most cruel people in every discussion you wander into. Do you not see how needlessly demeaning and insulting…

    I don't see a single attack against women in this entire 600+ post thread. I haven't read the entire thing, however. Would you mind sharing a link?

    You're fighting to create a world in which the intellectual currency is not reason, evidence, or logic; it's self-proclaimed victimhood. If I claim I'm a victim in a way that you'r…

    It's offensive in the same way it's offensive for a young man to attend a computer science class. It increases the maleness of a space.

    I couldn't disagree more. > > If women tend to be intimidated by head-to-head competition (of any type) with a man, it doesn't mean it's wrong or immoral for a man to compete head-…

    As a society, we need to get over the chivalrous notion that something is automatically bad if it might trigger negative emotions in women. If women tend to be intimidated by head-…

    He was simply pointing out that the grandparent's communication style is a bit misleading. Nothing wrong with that.

    I have never seen "Git" written in all-caps, and I've seen no real indication that it's an acronym. It looks like you may have stumbled upon this already, but according to Wikipedi…

    Whenever a woman is criticized in a remotely harsh tone, you will find men who instinctively rush to her aid. Men who will pat her on the head, compliment her, and apologize on beh…

    It looks like you've spent the last few months ignoring all but the worst arguments against your position. That sort of insularity doesn't help you understand the other side. > I m…

    I cannot imagine mustering any offense toward a group of people for spending their own money to organize a conference about a topic that interests them. None. Good for them for doi…

    I'm not sure why, but natermer's past several posts are all dead. He wrote: > The people running the government, which uses the taxes to secure loans that they have no intention on…

    This is incredibly well done! I happen to love lightweight markup languages like this, so the fact that you're using one makes it irresistible. To the authors: you said you used Ji…

    Regarding "3.1415", I was simply passive-aggressively pointing out that if you're referencing pi, you should probably round up to "3.1416". The example itself made sense!

    Jeremy, your code's comments are all hard-wrapped at column 80, but the code itself extends beyond that. Do you tell your editor to hard-wrap each "block" of comments as you write …
