In reply to Lee.

Since that comment was posted you have taken it upon yourself to police this comment thread.

I don't quite see how my participating merits "policing" label.

If you want a real reason I took to this thread — it was pointed out elsewhere what an ugly swamp of a conversation it was becoming and that it could use some input. I can spare the time.

Read the comments. You hold the minority opinion.

Do I now? Yet the change discussed is made and shipped, not to mention my comments are by far most upvoted. :)

There isn't more push back here because there are more people holding that opinion. There is more push back because Tavern had been long catering to people thriving on that kind of angry, insulting, destructive "conversation".

It washes out other people from participating here and there had been considerable meta discussion about this (not for the first time) that Tavern policies fosters toxic environment which has little to do with actual WP community.

The "outrage about social justice" does not represent WP community. Listening, making the change, and shipping it does.

Within your own words, do you not see your own hypocrisy and overinflated sense of entitlement to speak on behalf of WordPress and all members of its userbase?

I don't quite follow where do I claim to speak for WordPress? The only things I did was wholeheartedly agree that the issue deserved attention and correction, as well that it was the most reasonable way for it to go, from my experience with the project and how I see it.

You seem to feel that your right to be offended is greater than everyone else’s right to be offended by puritanism and snowflakeryism.

I am no victim here and, being a man, the offence was not even aimed at me. What I am is someone who can emphatize with a woman stumbling over that phrase, agree that it is a messy and weird thing to encounter in WP dashboard, and celebrate it getting corrected.
