This is a pretty ridiculous comment imo. Someones views or background don't have to be wrong or controversial to be endangered by them. We have enough historical precedent to know this, remember nazi germany and the jewish?

While I don't go as far as the poster you are replying to, I do see his way as superior. It's just too much hassle for me.

This is why I said "We are discussing (mostly) tech here". I don't agree that creating a throwaway for every comment is "superior". It's basically spamming and it's even noted in the guidelines.

Nazi Germany & Jews issue is different. There's an aspect of forcing, and this is unethical and wrong on so many levels, and I'll just leave the subject here.

OTOH, from my perspective if you're afraid that you're writing a sensitive comment, you can create a throwaway. That's justifiable IMHO, but creating three accounts to discuss maps vs. loops, now that's different.

If we're talking about being ridiculous, bringing up Nazi Germany vs. Jews issue to a technical discussion is more ridiculous than the alleged ridiculousness of me asking the OP about their fears. To close, my questions was not to belittle or shame the OP, they were genuine. I'm not that person who jabs for giggles.

You assume the homogeneity and conformity of your thinking will save you. There were plenty of Germans that did that also. Germany lost the war.

It’s fine to be fearless. But don’t persecute someone for trying to protect themselves.

You assume that people who say the same thing, think the same way. Your assumptions about me lost you the argument.

As I said, I asked genuine questions. They might be blunt and unpopular questions, but they are questions, and it's totally OP's decision to answer me or not.

I respect them in every case.

I don't know why you think tech comments are safe. Discussion any topic has a ton of side channel information even if you somehow believe tech is totally safe topic.
