    Whoa, no need to use the word reduced. The guy was only linking to some current news. And you hit him with "reduced"? No one uses that
    antiquated, hateful, loaded, crude word any longer.

    Systemic inequality, racism, privilege, and anti-iclusion laced with a
    little historical injustice is nothing to joke about by using the word "reduced" as a rhetorical weapon.

    Have some class, don't be crass. Frankly, you sound like a modern day
    Archie Bunker by cavalierly throwing words like that around. No matter
    how you may feel about someone, for whatever reason, try to rise above and
    be civilized.

    This seems to be what right-wingers are reduced to doing, these days,
    isn’t it? Instead of making an actual contribution to the development of
    Open Source projects, all they can do is moan impotently from the
    sidelines.

    Go on, go back to proprietary software from Microsoft and Apple, why don’t you. You seem to be happier being ignored by them.

    You are using the bigoted language of the patriarchy, sir. Educate
    yourself. Men "reduce" women to a position of economic and emotional
    slavery by their very presence around them. People like you likely think
    little of "reducing" other humans to chattel, as if you are better than
    them.

    You are commenting on the appropriateness of eliminating words from our vernacular while hypocritically using a word that represents the worst
    hatred and misogyny ever to be imagined.

    When I see someone, in this day and age, use the word "reduced" it is an indicator that they likely are unhappy with their life, poverty ridden,
    low-IQ, and ignorant of other's feelings and happiness.

    Sad!

    I don't mind being ignored by the corporations I hate if it at least
    means that the software I intend to use actually works as intended.
    Being ignored is still better to me than feeding the faggots who are
    taking over open-source.

    Why do you assume that only Woke morons produce open source software?

    Eich is a good example. You don't apologize to the LGBQT@$F crowd.
