Sorry, I accidentally sent a private reply :) I'll try to repeat it here for others.
Those silly pictures are the community's emotional reply to an issue that they care about. I don't think calling the contributors "silly" is exactly politically correct, too, since we are on that level now :) I requested to revert the changes for the exact reason that you're giving me: the discussion should happen *before* any changes are made. I call the original change "trolling", because that's what I believe it is. This is not the first case of political correctness trolling on github, FSF in particular has a history of doing that with other projects. I do not believe any of the "political correct" changes were made with the goal of bettering the project, I think the only goal of such is to start a holywar discussion and have fun. Multiple comments on github assert that I'm not the only one aware of the spreading trolling, particularly from 4chan users. The community is trying to protect the django project from the attack of people who seek no good for django. Please stop the confrontation, this will not help anyone. The feedback from the community is the most valuable thing django has, do not ignore it. Offtopic: Calling me angry, uncivil, referring to my way of putting things as inappropriate, suggesting that my tone might disengage people - those are signs of your own anger, if I may suggest. I made no assumptions about you personally or any other of the django maintainers, and I would appreciate if you adopt a similar approach. I argue that stating my opinion honestly and persistently is not a sign of me being angry. You can call me harsh if that's what you think. I see no point in avoiding words that pinpoint exactly what I mean.
