Language control is a weapon, and I refuse to submit to this hypocritical
mad ideology.

Want respect? Be respectful! “your language is non-inclusive” is not being
respectful and **you** are mad if you think this should trigger a
respectful response.

Want “intellectual texts”? Here is a quote for you:

This will go on indefinitely. And yet, you only care about **virtual**
oppression (or aggression or whatever[1]). That's why you'll **never**
judge/oppose SJWs madness imposition like language control or false rape
accusations. I won't waste my time with you[2]. I already said what I
wanted to[3].

Just for the record, there are people who were positive to my comments here
and said so in private. If they are afraid of raise their voices publicly,
I shall say the self-censorship is being very effective. Want me to collect
stories of people fired because of this madness? Events cancelled because
of this madness? It's not that hard to Google it. You close your eyes
purposefully and I cannot open them for you (I described the state of the
Rust community in the very first email and you seem to ignore that... like
you want the same scenario happening here).

[1] Do not let us be deceived by a name.
[2] You'll only complain if somebody doesn't conform to the “language
rules” as you obviously didn't complain when the “non-inclusive language”
card was played. **This** is what I mean about the non existent neutrality
here.
[3] Thankfully this[4] still is an open space.
[4] Rust community is not.
