In reply to Rarst.

@Rarst. All I pick up from you is "I'm right, everybody else is wrong".

Look at the original tweet. Read the actual post from Jeff. Ignore everyone’s comments except Rarst’s because he really hits the nail on the head! Especially this part “To everyone who declared themselves judges of appropriate levels of drama and triviality in this thread… You know what — it cuts both ways. Your outrage is trivial and insignificant since it comes from a place devoid of perspective and empathy. Your claim to shield this with “culture” is transparent and shallow.”

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

Read the comments. You hold the minority opinion.

This puritanism needs to stop. This right-think needs to stop. This I-know-what’s-best-for-everyone authoritarian crap needs to stop. Less moralising, more personal integrity, more respect for others, please.

It will not. For better and worse WordPress optimizes for popularity. Maximizing appeal and smoothing out rough edges is indelible part of that direction. That is the project’s idea of integrity and respect. And it’s nothing like your take on those.

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?

You seem to feel that your right to be offended is greater than everyone else's right to be offended by puritanism and snowflakeryism. Should this Metric of Offence be volumetric? Is your ego so voluminous it holds more measure than the combined feelings of everyone else? I don't suppose you see what I'm getting at here but I hope you do one day and that that day is not too late for you to realise where this 'right to be a victim' and 'right to be offended' is inevitably headed. That basket is crowded as it is, if you see what I mean.
