I would strongly recommend that you read the author of Redis himself discussing this issue: http://antirez.com/news/122


Thanks for this link. Some developers see more than others and can articulate differences very well. I wish I'd been scanning his blog for years!

> "There is more: I believe that political correctness has a puritan root. As such it focuses on formalities, but actually it has a real root of prejudice against others. For instance Mark bullied me because I was not complying with his ideas, showing problems at accepting differences in the way people think. I believe that this environment is making it impossible to have important conversations."


Antirez was pressured into adding aliases to soothe the crowd.


This is extremely obvious concern trolling. Please don't do that here.


Nope. It's not trolling if you state a fact.


It absolutely is. Concern trolling means disingenuously expressing concern about an issue in order to undermine or derail genuine discussion, which you've done here, and your other remarks about "SJWs" lay bare your motives.

I'm asking you to knock it off and discuss in good faith next time.


Deemed by who? I'm in the valley and this is the first time I'm encountering it. I need to leave.


Huh, what? Never heard of this DB replication "PC" nonsense before.

In Switzerland we had quasi slaves till the 1980s (Verdingkinder). This is horrible and the skin color of the victims was most of the time white. And many of them are now old white dudes.

There are probably more old white dudes in Europe that suffered directly from slavery than there are Americans with Grandparents who were slaves. So please don‘t judge people by their skin color.
