What if this were a body building forum or a site where chefs and their kitchen cooks talk shop?
Would you feel the same way about the users of those sites?
I'm sure plenty of people in tech don't really give a shit as is their right.
Yes, it would not at all be unreasonable for any of those categories. If they are seeing it all over the place as we all are, having intense reactions as many people are and extend the sentiment into their niche forums that seems totally legit and reasonable.
I suppose you have a right to be a grumpy person and deny them it, but, I would say relax, give them a break, and maybe stop taking yourself so seriously.
