Re: Anonymous/Burner Accounts and CD Etiquette
I realize that I'm trying to sweep back the ocean, but ...
I think it would be a good idea for people, in general, to stop worrying about the team someone is on when discussing anything, anywhere, unless the explicit topic being discussed is that person's team.
I know that there is a big, deep, and broad pool of sentiment that connects what individuals do to to observers' opinions about the entire team that *happens* to include that individual; but please; teams rarely get to choose their members, and teams with non-trivial membership rolls are going to be full of diverse attitudes about plenty of boring and exciting subjects.
If, in general, we spent more time discouraging a mindset of forming judgments about "teams", instead of "individuals", and invested less mental energy in viewing teams as mono-cultures (or in pushing them to be mono-cultures), I think this thread's topic would lose an important bit of urgency.
