Can you elaborate on the last part of your comment? I’m not sure I fully understand, though it sounds like we mostly agree.

I’m not sure why you threw in that digression about political leaning at the end, though. It makes your last statement pretty vague.

The “paradox of tolerance” is a concept I love to bring up time and time again.

No tolerance for the intolerant, lest intolerants take over tolerant spaces and turn them intolerant.

Ouch, how did this happen, and why have patches sat unreviewed?

Yeah, with OP’s attitude - skill issue

You need to double up your newlines :)
