Right, but the policy was commit hygiene (lots of small commits), which has nothing to do with the “no politics” policy. It’s right there in the comment, and the suggestion is to squash the commits into one.

Agreed. And unfortunately, I felt it necessary to be really wordy to not come off as supporting intolerance in any way, while still arguing that I would’ve done the same (reject 1-line cosmetic PRs).

This is some kind of correlary to Poe’s Law, or perhaps Godwin’s Law.
