The Art of Unix ProgrammingThe Art of Unix ProgrammingPosted Feb 13, 2003 19:27 UTC (Thu) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)In reply to: The Art of Unix Programming by erat Parent article: The Art of Unix Programming Come on, guys. The book doesn't contain a chapter promoting gun freedom; it just uses pro-gun statements in example text. The example text had to exist one way or another; can't readers just ignore the content? From a practical point of view, though, I can agree with the point that ESR would be better off using neutral example text. A writer has to take a reader as he finds him, and if the reader is delicate, the writer has to treat him delicately or risk losing the reader. --
