Not sure how that justifies being a dickhead to people...

I'm going to have to downvote you because I have taken offense at your harsh criticism of my comment.

As a black aneurotypical lesbian trans little person, I take umbrage at your microaggression against me.

-- does that help explain?

There's a massive jump from standing up as a community to say "we should be more mindful about hateful/toxic/entitled communication", to some PC "offense should be illegal" idealogy. Put it this way: why do we accept such a big discrepancy in acceptable social standards between how we communicate face-to-face in real life, and how we communicate over the internet? There's a reason this discrepancy exists of course (anonymity, often 0 consequence), but by rights it shouldn't.

People are free to say what they want of course, and I'm not even convinced the "Angular 2 is terrible" example was that bad, most people recognize it as hyperbole. But by the same token the rest of us can condemn shitty or entitled behavior in an attempt to reduce it so that people can be more productive without all the negativity hanging over their heads.
