Dare to say "dick measuring contest" on this site and you get a warning for supposedly offending someone who doesn't have one? lol. Goes to show the snowflakeness of this site.
Here's the thing: common sense should be enough to get around not hurting people's feefees when commenting on here, and everywhere else for that matter.
Said common sense should be exercised by both parties.
Now, this PC madness that's going around the tech industry (I could cite dozens of projects jumping on the NPC bandwagon) just goes to show that people on the 'receiving end' of the information don't want to exercise said common sense, rather push their rules onto the other parties.
It's almost as if merit doesn't matter anymore, what only matters is if you are caring about someone else's feelings.

I fully agree. But apparently it isn't. So what solution do you suggest? Ignore the reality and act as if we lived in an ideal world (even though we most certainly don't)?

It's not about ignoring reality, it's about considering if you wanna walk on the artificially created minefield of you being accused with all kinds of 'rule violations', or simply just take your balls and walk away.
All this just because of the aforementioned pushing rules on others, instead of having common sense.
It's rather rare that I comment on blogposts like these because my opinion is triggering exactly these responses, and results in unnecessary drama/catfights. And because of this, probably this is the last comment I've made in this thread.
I like to read these threads sometimes though, for the entertainment value.
Darko: I hear you in principle, but if you want to send me some examples to help inform how we should be thinking about some posts and others, feel free to DM me.
Laszlo: Likewise, DM me if you'd like. NPC as a pseudo-slanderous Internet diss doesn't strike me as consistent with a call for common sense dialog/moderation etc. I think merit still matters a lot. We're a coding forum with an emphasis on inclusion and we try to act on that identity in a common sense way.

If you noticed, I was generalizing, and not applying the meme to you. It's what happening in the industry globally, not what you are doing personally. Your work in this site is something to be valued.
Hey, it's just what I've observed, but I guess that with the more members the content loses quality a bit.
Also, I don't think that you can decide whether some post should be published or not, because what's stupid and annoying for someone may be gold and interesting for someone else.
As much as it sucks to see those kinds of posts here I usually just skip them (or cringe a little), also, there is still a lot of interesting and quality stuff posted, and I'm still recommending dev to everyone that might be interested in seeing what you have here. Keep the good work.
I don't really understand the last part of the reply (PC?) but I certainly agree that common sense should be used on both sides. And yeah, there are too many triggered people all around lately, many of whom don't care about code or programming in general, just pushing their opinions down the throat of other people...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
