And yet somehow I don't think "fuck" in a public commit message is that big of a deal. We weren't talking about swear words destroying your career, making you a social pariah, or getting you killed. We're talking about tightasses getting a bee in their bonnets about "bad" words.
Yet you do care enough to create a new account just to post this comment, complete with dedicated account name. If you truly don't think it's such a big deal, why post in this way? Why not stand behind your comment with a non-throwaway username?
Going to second this fella. Not a throwaway account. Anything to discredit the prudes of this world and their pathetic, sensitive little war on "profanity". Fuck forever!
Because fuck you, that's why. But really, if you care to debate the content of the message instead of its delivery, you're more than welcome to. Otherwise, feel free to deflect with a non-sequitur. :)
