>yet another Cultural Marxism enforcing agency

Having a bunch of experience in writing contrarian letters-to-the-editor, I'd have suggested leaving the capitalized words out and substituting them with something derived from practice rather than (what sounds like) wingnut tribal doctrine. As you'll have noticed, this attracted people who're more interested in debating your use of those words[-1] (*blush*) which serves to distract from the argument proper; in this case, that a "let's hit the Linux Foundation up for Morally Righteous Dosh[0]" plot may have been afoot.

Also, the expression "cultural marxism" (regardless of the concept's in-/validity otherwise) has a very nasty pong in much of Europe because of those words' association with Anders Behring Breivik's ideological manifesto.

[-1] though mostly it looks like discussion of your person instead. par for the course and all that.
[0] guess they've changed tacks to "GPL enforcement!" from "for teh otherwise helpless girls!", and "poor vulnerable wimminz beset by awful, awful males!" before that...

Ah yes, the appeal to extremism. It seems old Cultural Marxist dogs cant lean new rhetorical tricks?

Its precisely these old dogs who sang sweet songs of Integration to open the gates for millions of fundamentalist to spill the blood of French children. Does the spilt blood of Europe's children have a sweet pong to Cultural Marxists? The silence is defining.

What is it with you? I'm done asking for grownup behavior from you. This stuff is not welcome here.

I would have assumed such grownup comments comparing other posters to Anders Breivik's would not be welcome either. But it seems the definition of "polite, respectful, and informative" is simply an ideological filter to exclude some and empower other rather then a genuine attempt to maintain civil informative discussion.

Nobody compared anyone to Breivik. It was written that using the same terminology as Breivik is in pretty bad taste. It is unfortunate that people like Breivik can "steal" words, but is the world we live in.

But this stuff is? Or this one, still my personal favourite. Please stop pretending the rules apply equally to everyone.
