Well, looking at my response in particular, you can see that I *began it* with concrete constructive suggestions about fixing it, so that was never part of the question. (I work pretty hard at non-obtrusively-gendered language myself, I'm from a region/era where that was a thing to strive for so it feels natural to me ... not that I never have something slip out that someone might object to, but most obviously gendered usages already sound funny to me, so by and large I avoid them.) It was only in the later part of my comment that I asked for a link, and even there I said nothing about "whether or not somebody is currently upset", and certainly not "Is it ridiculous?" as in Joshua's response to me. I just wanted a chance to read the comments in question, because I hadn't been able to google them, and I *wanted the chance to get familiar with the opinions and arguments of those vocally concerned in their own words* ... because that's a thing I like to do. So Joshua included the link, so I'll go read now.... :) -Chap -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
