> Wait, you reply was a joke? I don't get it.
The joke was a reference to how much "maga" is in people's head thanks to left-wing outlets like CNN, so much you saw it in the project name.
> Was there an obscure computer science or information theory or networking protocol reference that I missed?
It was a purely political joke, as you shifted the conversation to politics...
> It just sounded like I hurt your feelings by implying that it was bad to name a project only 1 Levenshtein distance measurement away
I'm fine, thanks for your concern! From your replies, it seems like I hurt your feelings. Maybe don't reference politics if you can't handle responses from the other side!
> from such a horribly disreputable deeply disgraced hateful racist conspiracy theory associated four letter curse word as MAGA.
Ah see there it is, that's the sentiment you wanted to suggest with your thinly veiled levenshtein "joke". Maga is not racist, you simply don't agree with it. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a racist. This is also not the place to bring it up. Keep politics out of the purely technical articles please!
> At the risk of spoiling it, please walk me through what's funny about your counter-joke about CNN step by step, and how trying to criticize somebody by doing the exact same thing you're attempting to do with a much less funny joke, then continuing to complain about it without posting any other interesting jokes or comments or links, isn't simply humorless hypocrisy?
The joke is the thing you hate the most is constantly in your head!
> I'm sorry you're so touchy about the word MAGA!
Not at all, I simply made a reply to your political commentary / levenshtein joke, you went off, so now I'm replying.
I do however think it wasn't appropriate for this thread and it distracts from the actual content.
> I did't expect anyone here to take such knee-jerk offense
Again, no offense taken, but you seem to have taken offense from the CNN comment. Sorry for that if so.
> and I'll be glad to offer you a full non-apology apology about how I'm sorry you decided to be so offended
Again, no apology needed. Thank you though!
> if you can only explain to me why you're so triggered by the mention of the fact MAGA is such a negative word to associate with a project
Not "triggered" as I'm not the one who blew up with a wall of text and it's not a negative word.
I support "maga" and if you're a liberal/socialist/marxist for whatever reason that's fine. I made a joke you made a joke. What's the issue? If you don't want to hear politics don't reference politics first.
> and what's so funny about your counter-joke about CNN.
The fact that you hate "maga" so much yet it occupies your mind! Living rent free I believe is the phrase.
