I predict you'll get something like "Asking for removing the rainbow flag is homophobic in itself. You cannot in good conscience be apolitical in this horrible climate of oppression!" back.
Excellent. So you know already.
Of course. Ideologues are quite predictable after all. They run a script which is open source and available for everyone to read. I just happen to disagree with the contents of that script ;-) Not flying that flag is neutral. Flying it is an endorsement. I'd prefer a neutral technical community over one that forces me to endorse things without even bothering to ask me. If a community forces me to endorse things without bothering to ask me, quashing any dissent with threats of exclusion while claiming to be "inclusive", I am going to speak up. Until your kind silences me with force, which it usually does. For the one thing you cannot handle is dissenters. Since your ideology does not hold up to cold, dispassionate arguments dissecting it. Hence your need to silence and nip any disagreement in the bud.
Nobody is ever asked whether they want "diverse and inclusive" changes in their projects. Or codices of conduct. They are effectively told.
Start your own projects without them then. Enjoy your community. Have a good life. Somewhere else.
EPERM You are not my commanding officer or anything like that. Hence I do not take orders from you. After all I am having a lot of fun here ;-) This ideology being forced upon me in a community I have had a lot of fun in for years threatens that, though. Hence I am going to fight it. It is a good place to fight this fight, for draconian measures are going to make you look bad to the freedom lovers that founded this community. I am fighting to keep it free. People like you are fighting to introduce a thought police to it. That has very little to do with freedom. Regards, An Anonymous Techie
