Well, nobody writes posts because they're eager to be "wrong", do they?

What active measures are you taking, besides changing hearts and minds on HN, to dismantle the patriarchy and white supremacy? What are you personally doing, say, to promote the work of developers and entrepreneurs that are female and non-white?

Oh, we're comparing resumes? I'll tell you what: you go first.

And as to the first bit, some people are eager to be right, while some are eager to look right. My point is that he's in the latter group, and so is avoiding the substance of the discussion to snipe on minor points.

I was kindly giving you the benefit of the doubt that your activism extends beyond internet flamewars, and presumably the occasional Democratic vote. I mean, if I'd boasted allegiance to a jihad against a Great Satan, I think I'd jump at any chance to boast about my accomplishments.
If that's you, you go ahead and boast. I'm all ears.
You’ve answered my question quite clearly. Thanks.
