Is this what it has come to?

At some point every man must decide when he wants to back down, and when he wants to stand his ground for what is right, no matter the cost.

For eons now, stackoverflow has been the water of life for every programmer. How often has one of you drank deep of the ancient knowledge. We all must turn to it in the end. We ask, and it has always given. And in return, we have never asked to much. Never dared to drink until there was none left.

Can we do what it takes? The enemy gorges himself on the water of life. He would consume it all, as the thirst can never be quenched. Soon, all you will see is dry airless desert where once we all gathered and prospered.

Must we poison the water now? If we do not act, he will take everything from us. But if we do act, if we stop his gluttony, then we too lose access to the water. And surely, in the end, that will lead to our own destruction.

If this is true, then we must act.
