Jan 5, 2020 at 22:10 comment added Draco18s no longer trusts SE @user622505 Had to snag that in a screenshot. Too juicy.
Oct 13, 2019 at 18:59 comment added Crowman The tragedy of all this is that SO was, and continues to be, populated almost exclusively by good, reasonable people who have no intention of hurting anyone, and who generally go well out of their way to try to nurture a welcoming and respectful environment for everybody. It's exactly this type of goodwill, and this type of person, that SO - and Sara Chipps in particular - seem inexplicably determined to squander and hound out. It's difficult to conceive how this could have been handled any worse.
Oct 13, 2019 at 18:44 comment added Crowman "[SO staff] are not actually doing much to help with inclusivity" - quite the opposite, I'd say. SO claims they believed the CoC would build a more welcoming and inclusive community, but anyone who was tempted to actually believe that now needs only to look around them to see just how delusional that is - the opposite is true. There's really no further point arguing the merits of the CoC itself, because the debate is basically over - the actual evidence is in, now, and it's too overwhelming to be reasonably disputed.
Oct 13, 2019 at 10:08 comment added Todd Wilcox Funny, I’m on the edge of leaving SE because the CoC seems to make SO staff think they are being inclusive when they are not actually doing much to help with inclusivity. The notion that the CoC is some kind of magic bullet for the problems around here is ludicrous, chilling, and most of all, telling.
Oct 12, 2019 at 18:04 comment added user1725145 Ironic that it doesn't seem to be understood by SE that when you lose people over a CoC, by definition that CoC isn't "more inclusive".

Oct 12, 2019 at 14:00 comment added Cindy Meister What's worse is a person in their position engaging in this kind of thing on Twitter, rather than with the community. Complete lack of respect and total ignorance of social interaction. For all the lip-service given "respect" and "welcoming", no indication of understanding what those terms actually mean.
Oct 12, 2019 at 11:22 comment added Eric Duminil @user622505. I'm afraid she's actually representative of SE corporate culture right now. I'm afraid her colleagues or superiors are actually proud of her job. That would be a really bad sign for SE's future.
Oct 12, 2019 at 1:53 comment added user622505 This is actually hilarious. Talk about being stuck in a bubble. Any reasonable company would have taken disciplinary action against Sara Chipps after the absolute raging fire she had a very large contribution to, but apparently SE is only concerned about pushing their agenda at this point. She also tweeted "One of my person KPIs is people blocked on Twitter and this week has me way ahead for Q4.". Yes, Sara, don't let anyone tell you you're wrong.
Oct 11, 2019 at 23:31 comment added user541686 Wow. This is the second time I thought things couldn't get any worse. I'm sorry for not believing in you, StackOverflow. I stand corrected.
Oct 11, 2019 at 21:33 comment added user540056 +1. The quoted comment throws gasoline on a blazing fire. Is this what SE wants its employees to do?
Oct 11, 2019 at 21:27 comment added user621031 I find it disingenuous, cynical and offensive that SE is trying to spin criticism of the new CoC as opposition to LGBT rights and gender-neutral language.
Oct 11, 2019 at 17:17 comment added Ask About Monica That is amazing. Recommend everybody capture this link, because lots of comments and answers are quickly disappearing. What bad faith this shows.
