Your contributions to the Linux Kernel, your years of dedication, are
all irrelevant, simply because they have not prepared you and the other
contributors for an SJW attack.

The majority of us software developers are going to be below average at
social interaction, this is not meant to be disheartening, it is
reality, one that puts us at a significant disadvantage when up against
SJW's.

They will apply social pressure to subvert your organisation and unless
you are willing to learn what an appropriate response is, you will be
defeated over time. Defeat means the current truly inclusive meritocracy
will be handed over to political activists with no intention to
contribute or maintain the kernel, they will milk it for all it is worth
and then move on.

Luckily, one of the trade off's against lower social skills is above
average intelligence. You all have the ability to learn the patterns of
attack and appropriate response. Even if you do not believe this is an
attack, but instead trust the CoC should be taken at face value, it
should behove you to at least read up on recent events, the history of
CoC's, their intended purpose and the fruits of their application.

The information is out there [1][2][3][4], I implore you to study it
before throwing away one of the greatest achievements of our time.

Ted, as a now notorious "rape apologist" [5], you already have first
hand experience of their social attacks, reality, truth & perspective
are all irrelevant in the land of SJW's. Backing down or giving them
what they want will be seen as a weakness to be exploited further. Stop
pandering to them because it is more uncomfortable to stand your ground,
learn how to attack back or you will have no position from which to pander.

Regards,
Michael
