| May 21, 2016 at 19:33 | comment | added | HopelessN00b | @Sven has your threshold for what's offensive always been this low? Regardless, I'm not arguing, and there's a larger issue here. The site's highest rep user, one of the small number of remaining, regular contributors, is saying that he feels disrespected by an edit that introduces a major change to a four-year old post. Your response to that is going to do more than just determine the content of an old answer. It's really no skin off my nose, but it seems to me like it might be in [what's left of] the community's best interests to give your response a little more deliberation. | |

This would be relevant if the post had be edited to contain glowing praise of ReiserFS or its creator. Instead, the edit removed something I consider really offensive. I don't think it's tame or harmless and I just don't get why the f*** we are even arguing about this. | |
