could we please not use this "holding hostage" expression to describe a situation that has *nothing* to do (in intensity, dire consequences and life threatening aspects) with a *real* hostage situation ? I am sure in english there are many more fitting idioms to use for a situation where people use their right to express their opinions in whatever pacific modus operandi they chose to use. [Personally, I see this as an opportunity to switch to a more FOSS-friendly alternative: kbin, lemmy, you name it, as long as it rhymes with fediverse.] thanks, -s -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
