Dumbest Tech Mistakes?

>Seems reasonable to have a "rule" that moderators of privately hosted forums can point to when they kick/ban users who are considered to be harassing others for any reason.

Most rules start out as reasonable seeming. The purpose in this case is some kind of "gender inclusiveness". If you are good programmer, who cares if somebody says you are a faggot? In the era I started in, that was pretty much the norm. Might as well say, "Hey, how's life"? 

>What do you expect from an OS who's logo is a snowflake?

Exactly. 

>It doesn't read as political to me, just a list of the most commonly cited ways that people harass one another online.

Many changes like this don't know. "Inclusive language" though is political. Make no mistake. Again, if you are a good coder, code. That's the inclusiveness.
