You're welcome to your opinion, but I contend that your opinion is part of the problem in open source. Maturity is necessary - it's not "growing complacent" to realize there are better ways to express yourself in 2020+.

Tone policing is still lame in 2020+

Tone policing is one of this forum's foundational rules. You're going to have a bad time here if you don't understand the utility of putting in the effort to have more civil discussions.

Tone Policing is a type of ad hominem logical fallacy, as explained in the article.

If committing ad hominem logical fallacies is one of the rules of the forum, then this forum is a waste of time.

This thread has already been a complete waste of time.

Well, part of my opinion is that i disagree that trying to force a specific tone is a sign of maturity and i do not see that as a better way of expression.

It can be easier to stomach, especially to those who do not want to see the opinions discussed, but at last personally i do not consider that as better.
