The preceding half sentence is one example of something that should NEVER appear in any Devuan venue. Ever. A post like that is likely to anger half the world's population, and if unrepudiated (I'm repudiating it right now), lead to some of those half withdrawing from the project. I'm not speaking directly to the person who spoke that half sentence, because it's just one example, and by far not the worst I've seen on Free Software mailing lists. Perhaps I sound Politically Correct. Fine. When you post offtopic to Devuan, you'd darn well better be politically correct, because otherwise it's likely you're blowing off potential contributors, not because something needs to be said for the good of Devuan, but because you find it oh so delightful to get off your chest. Karen Sandler may (or may not, I have no idea) be a poor excuse for a human being who is plotting the destruction of all things not systemd. Fine. Attack her for that. But her proportions have absolutely nothing to do with Devuan, and should not be commented on, any more than somebody's religion, nationality, gender, gender preference, gender identification, disabilities, or anything else. We anti-systemd people are already a tiny minority. We don't need to start offending each other over things having nothing to do with Linux, systemd, or even computing. If we don't hang together, we'll most assuredly hang separately. And that spells systemctl.
