My opinion, and the way I interpreted Peter's original post, is that this banner is extremely inappropriate, independent of its social or political views, because it is completely off-topic for the discussion of the Go language and introduces a highly controversial non-technical issue into places where people go to discuss a specific technical topic. I find it even more offensive that it is not just a banner promoting awareness of a social issue, but contains a request and link soliciting money. My alignment for or against any social issue has absolutely no bearing on my opinion that this type of banner is inappropriate in this context. I also believe that the people who run these websites have the right to place banners of this nature if they wish, but they also have a responsibility to _not_ do so. ...Marvin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
