Evpok, did you think I was joking?

I think it is a terrible thing for you to accuse me of being 
"derogatory" and threaten me with the CoC because I have said we need to 
do better. It sounds like you are making light of the real pain people 
are suffering, every bit as real if not more so than that caused by the 
use of "master".

Every one of us needs to ask why we are in favour of renaming the master 
branch to main but not the other examples. Are we "following the general 
convention" (Evpok's words) to just follow the crowd and be like 
everyone else, or because you want to actually help people?

It is things like your reaction, and Victor's, and David's, that gives 
ammunition to people who say that this is just performative virtue 
signalling. Someone who isn't one of the "in group" points out that 
words you use are every equally bit as harmful as "master", and you're 
hostile and negative and raising the CoC.
