…I guess I’d just respond by saying that you should reacquaint yourself with the definitions of left vs right. It has nothing to do with what you mentioned.

I ask because the python debacle was indeed political — it was rooted in debates about DEI, what constitutes discriminatory speech, and other related issues.

No, I was not cheekily hoping to start a fight about politics.

Yes, I know how to spell onlookers, as does my spellchecker. I don’t know what you hope to gain from nitpicking someone’s typos, but I encourage you to answer that question to yourself. Dare I say “nothing”?





I'm really curious: can you share these definitions of left and right?

Geez, didn't know it hurt that much :) I'm 37 and still discover words I mis-spell and am grateful when people correct me. I get the need for us all to have a safe space but I didn't know the left went this far...


Pretty funny that you accuse me of being overly political, but then say I'm a far left snowflake for returning a bit of snark. I think I'll have to bow out of this exchange, sorry!

It's a pattern for this user unfortunately

Source for this claim?

(mods: went back 3 months, have had 0 interaction with them. account is used regularly to harass people in ways similar to this, short and restrained so it doesn't sound undeserved, yet, people express similar bafflement to me)
