Garage gets everyone eventually...
Also, jeff seems to have a surprising number of haters in that thread.

@cartman82 Is Jeff also surprised when the sun rises?

It's just that he had always kept on the safe side of the social justice crowd. Said all the right things, championed the right causes.
Until now. He defended one wrong opinion and poof. His entire history forgotten, they turned on him in an instant.

Citation needed for "they turned on him in an instant." How many "they"s are we talking about here? Also, do we include lizard people?

WTF is that EricaJoy talking about? When did anyone at Google say that black people are inferior? Is she talking about James Damore?

Neither do I. I'm on a holiday right now and I usually try my best to avoid the social justice crowd as I have little interest in the subject.Can someone provide some context, please?

Did "they". I see exactly one person questioning his retarded-ass wrong opinion.
OH NOES THOSE HORRIBLE SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS! NO ONE IS SAFE! Fuck.

There was some discussion about the semantics of white nationalist vs white supremacist. The usual bullshit, I ignored it.
Next thing I know, I saw that tweet, saying Atwood was gone.
I am also hoping someone has been keeping closer eye on things and can clear things up.

Can't wait for the impending "Why Twitter sucks..." or "Why social media sucks..." contrarian post on his blog.
But as with almost everyone that deletes their account:
-
Best I can figure out from the discussion on Twitter is that it went something like that:
"Hey, a white nationalist just did $atrocious_thing!"
"Um, well, actually, I have Wikipedia here and that's not how white nationalism is defined, so I'd very much appreciate if you used correct terms according to their definitions, thank you"
"Oh wow, aren't you a cunt."
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *ban* *ban* *ban self*Which... is exactly how I'd imagine Jeff Atwood discussing anything go.

The website's name is https://meta.discourse.org/. For the sake of civilized discussion, I'd very much appreciate it if you referred to websites using their correct names. Thank you.

.ICANN will probably get around to it sometime. Mind you, someone might object with
.apple
as it is a common word with multiple meanings (I remember reading that Amazon ran into exactly that) but the other two probably won't have that sort of problem. OTOH, they might also think “why do we need to spend on this in the first place? The status quo works for us.”

OTOH, they might also think “why do we need to spend on this in the first place? The status quo works for us.”The list above includes lots of common words. Kinda disheartening, actually. So many generic words being approved for single-entity use.
Edit:
Especially since the requirements stated on the page itself are:
An exemption to the Code of Conduct may be granted if the TLD is not a "generic string" and the Registry Operator satisfies all three (3) stated exemption criteria:
- All domain name registrations in the TLD are registered to, and maintained by, Registry Operator for the exclusive use of Registry Operator or its affiliates;
- Registry Operator does not sell, distribute or transfer control or use of any registrations in the TLD to any third party that is not an affiliate of Registry Operator; and
- Application of the Code of Conduct to the TLD is not necessary to protect the public interest.

Yeah. I think there ought to be a moderately chunky annual charge for the TLDs to encourage multientity use, set at a level where it's pretty easy to make the money back if you resell a load, but where it stings if you sit on it and do nothing.

No, I don't see that.
But he either has no idea I'm trolling him, has the keen power to ignore trolls that he hadn't developed before, or he has me muted, which means he doesn't get notifications from me.
But muted isn't blocked.
Also, looks like the entire account is back.
So it was either a glitch, or there's a way to temporarily hide the account posts.

I'd be reluctant to defend , and I really can't since from the short snippet I can't tell if over the course of the whole conversation he's right, wrong, or somewhere in between.
But to me that little snippet looks like this:
: Someone did this thing, he's a horrible Nazi
: Even if you disagree not everyone is a Nazi.
: Everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi.Maybe things would be more clear if we could see the whole conversation. But I've recently had to side with people I strongly disagree with because this demonizing thing is not at all constructive. (We've just had elections here and everyone keeps throwing around the Nazi term, which gets very frustrating)

@topspin don't you hate when morons make you have to defend people you hate because the morons are even wronger?

Well, I do, but I think @topspin’s point was actually, that he doesn’t know whom he should side with here.
Unless you consider both parties to be both people you hate and morons, then it doesn’t matter: either way you’d end up in the position you described.
