There needs to be a bit more than comments like "I feel personally attacked" - they may well do so, but if there is no evidence of that occurring, then its little more than emotional manipulation. To change the way the site works, there has to be some objectivity involved, feeelings are too easily led. | |

| Oct 8, 2019 at 18:20 | comment | added | gbjbaanb | @IEatBagels who are the ones pushing a political agenda? After all, on SO the whole concept of your sexuality or gender is truly irrelevant and unwanted with regards to answers. I think the same applies ot the majority of sites here, except suddenly it appears to be very important to know who's LGBT and what they expect to be called. Just be respectful of others (all others, even Trump supporters), that's all that's needed. | |

| Oct 7, 2019 at 14:00 | comment | added | This_is_NOT_a_forum | The investor information is public. E.g. "...backed by investors that include Andreessen Horowitz, Founder Collective, Index Ventures, Spark Capital, and Union Square Ventures". I would be surprised if there was any change before the IPO. | |

| Oct 7, 2019 at 12:45 | comment | added | IEatBagels | It's not about pushing a political agenda, but answering to users who felt diminished because of their gender/sexual orientation. | |
| Oct 7, 2019 at 6:03 | comment | added | Caleb | I have a few thoughts about inclusion/exclusion and SE's choice to use their platform for activism. This apology is great as far as it goes and it's nice to see at least an first attempt to take ownership of the scenario, but it doesn't even touch on the core issue and I don't think it represents any change in overall direction. Better mod handling policies? Probably. Rooting out why this became an issue in the first place? Not so much. | |
