Comment (by isimluk):
It did not needed to be worded negatively, if that was an issue. From
where I come from, the very most people would have good laugh over this.
It would perk up a person's attitude towards the project and perhaps it
would enable them to take next heated debate on fedora-devel with grace.
I guess different cultures have different sense of humor. And that's
alright.
What concerns me however is that with globalization and cultural
imperialism of recent times, we (as in society) loose mental capacity to
sense humor. You can say the very same thing with angst and anger or with
joy and love. You can choose to be insulted when someone loves you, but is
not the choice that he makes.
This topic is very subtle and it may not be understood by many. When we
loose sense of humor we also lose our ability to take things that happen
in life with grace. And things happen. We teach people to become victims
instead of creators. The lack of creators has an adverse effect on
entrepreneurship (in broader meaning of the term) and the economy. As a
result I get less anchovies on my pizza than I could get otherwise. We let
our fears to limit our growth.
Lastly, when we create an environment where everything is positive, people
tend to (subconsciously) identify themselves with that environment less.
Now, please, everyone takes a nap and then let's have a good laugh
together.
