I Love the Smell of Napalm in the Morning
With 369 current developers let’s do a little test….
Stupid Nazi bastards doing piss poor commits!
That one surely hit a nerve with someone.

jeeves: Quote: 196:807:807 KrispyKringle: why did all the dinosaurs die ? || vapier: because you touch yourself at nite

jeeves: Quote: 55:807:807 < @jrinkovs> and jformans small wang
I KNOW that offended at least 2 devs and that’s just from my first 2 hits to !quote. Shall I continue? I know I can find at least 1 offending comment made to at least HALF of all the devs in jeeves’ database. What people are not realizing is that society provides us with a different set of norms based on where we are from. What if I went around the world giving everyone the thumbs up sign? I bet you in the Middle East I’d probably get a good verbal thrashing at the very least.
What’s the point of highlighting this? If you expect EVERYONE to be understanding and non-offensive. Step back and relax, maybe they don’t know or understand. Just relax and address it with them directly.
In the words of South Park… everyone needs to get the sand out of their private places.
Think I’m wrong? I invite anyone who claims they haven’t been insulted by another dev to e-mail me. In fact, everyone that has been insulted. Please e-mail me as well. I want to compile a list, and no it won’t include names. I want to get some numbers. Like % of devs insulted. % of devs not insulted.

Off-topic: what southpark episode was that quote from? I suspect I missed that one.

cartman: “what’s the matter kyle you got some sand in your vagina?” … don’t recall the episode either, sorry.
As for “because you touch yourself at night”, that’s just a Family Guy quote. It’s meant to offend.
Re. thumbs up: People would think you’re just a stupid tourist, the only place I’ve heard of that being offensive is Iran. I’ve lived in various countries in the middle east for nearly half my life. In fact, I think you should do that because as the world gets smaller and much more mixed up people are going to have to overcome these differences. I’m not saying all change their standards or values but just realize that there are times not to be offended when things are not said maliciously. Some people just need to learn to _relax_.

For the record, I never said that. Vapier was just trying to be funny (if at first you don’t succeed…).

That was the point of the post. Everyone needs to relax.
