I wouldn't go so far as to say toxic in this case, but their reaction to me having a differing opinion is certainly characteristic of rust developer pathology. Not sure why rust attracts these people. This phenomenon should probably be studied.

I think “impulse to defend a community you’re a part of when you feel it is being unfairly maligned” is a pretty standard human response pattern.

- Insult a group with generalization

- Members of the group respond non-kindly

- "Help! I am being repressed!"

I mean, maybe you should try more balanced take next time. Just a thought.

I don't ever recall saying I'm being repressed. Could you point out where I said that?

If you're referring to my above post, I'm pointing out that you're having a very emotional reaction to what I'm saying. That's typically what I see from rust developers.
