To the point made immediately previous to my last comment: no one is forcing you to participate in this thread; if you don't like it, you are absolutely free - and I encourage you - to ignore it. Then you won't be bothered by it. 

Oh, and by the way, it is relevant to a discussion - of open-source programming, which is what we are doing.

By the same argument, we could also talk about a whole raft of issues to
do with free software or free culture, but that's not the purpose of
this list. The list is specifically for discussing Fedora. The whole
"hacking" thread doesn't even mention Fedora, and would be more
appropriate in any of the other lists, blogs, hashtags or whatever that
focus on these issues.

Er... Fedora isn't mentioned that much in what we do, much less the discussions.
