    Hackers are hackers

    We do not care about political correctness, or the opposite of it

    We do not care if you like us or hate us

    We do what we do, we hack what we hack, because we like it, because we can do it, and because we do not give a flying fuck of what you think of us

    And to those political correctness asshat - go fuck yourself, and leave us alone !!

      Go wear your "holier than thou" badge around the hackerspace and see how you measure up to the rest of us

    In other words, it's only harrassment if the girl does not like the guy.

    I believe there was a Saturday Night Live skit on the subject.

    The socially awkward are getting criminalized and further ostracized.

    That fucker that you answer to is too dumb to understand that he is nothing but a salaried grunt, working for his socio-path, but super wealthy boss
