Gold is deflationary, which is why people like you fear it.

I don't like the weaselly binary assumption here. You are implying "You are either a well-meaning person or you are not." That's an unbelievably narrow (and, honestly, childish) view of human interactivity. It also implies that you alone hold a monopoly on how "well-meaning" is defined and that it is your sacred duty to impose that doctrine on others.

You're basically attempting to confuse people into accepting your moral ethos as a candidate for common assumptions of what "well-meaning" should be.

This is underhanded and not well-meaning at all.

Perhaps you should try avoiding causing unnecessary harm with your words next time.

If you think pronoun accuracy is a primary concern regarding women in tech, I'm going to guess you have never seen a woman in tech. They are far more concerned about memory leaks and pointer management.

Stayed to laugh the pedantic fixation upon gender pronouns.
