In case you haven't heard, FreeBSD has a new code of conduct that's seemingly pulled straight from the shit-spewing face of a blue-haired intersectional feminist.
Me, I refuse to contribute to any coding project with a code of conduct designed to protect people of one political ideology from those who disagree with them. They're of course welcome to do what they like but they'll be doing it without my help in any way.

Bullshit. Nobody is scared. Scared people do not seek out violence. SJWs do. "I don't feel safe" from the mouth of an SJW means "I dislike what you say and want your right and ability to say it removed by force.".
As for Wesley? Fuck Wesley. He's the biggest shithead on Twitter, which is really saying something.
Yet you find it perfectly reasonable that they not only do but go as far as to tell others what they should say or even think? Sorry but I am not backing your first Heinlein quote on this. I will not accept rule by the most discriminatory, bigoted, authoritarian scumbags on the planet.

That's bold talk from a one-eyed fat man [youtube.com], Buzzard.
Aside from Wil Wheaton (I only referred to the idea "don't be a dick," not anything else -- try to keep things straight), please tell me who (individuals, not your broad brush against those who you "dislike what [they] say and want [their] right and ability to say it removed by force." and what specific acts you decry and detest) are these "SJWs"?
If you are unable or unwilling to make anything other than vague and unsupportable pronouncements, I have no choice but to find your argument lacking in rigor.
That's not really a big deal to me because
So go ahead and set whatever ground rules you think appropriate and I will act according to mine. See? Wasn't that easy?

Re: Wesley, that's what I was talking about as well. The irony of a prick of such gargantuan proportions being its author is staggering.
Specifically? They're thought police, they're violent as hell, they're intolerant as all fuck, they're the biggest bigots in the west of every variety of bigotry, they utterly destroy the hypocrisy scale, they're authoritarians of the worst variety, they're against free speech, they're against freedom of association, they're in favor of persecuting others by all legal and illegal means for the crime of disagreeing with them, and now I'm tired of thinking about things that piss me off. Google them.

BuzzBro, thou art over-reacting, again. We are not trying to tell people what to think, we are just trying to show them how! You, too, could be a suave gentleperson of high moral character and impeccable social skills! No one is forcing anything on you, you are just ostracizing yourself from all polite company, so that you are left with SoylentNews, Ethanol_fueled and Runaway5678, and that curmudgeonly aristarchus.

I'm fine with that. You can have a far more intelligent discussion with EF than you can with any SJW.

[laughing] I've noticed that. Speaking therewhich, where the hell is EF? this discussion is way too rational without him!
