I think maybe they misunderstood the insult “get stuffed!”
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

I’d handing them out like candy on Halloween: “Here - you seem to be in need of one.”

Even the good ones after all that’s happened in the past decade.

The Six-Fingered Man
Inigo MontoyaThis monologue is taken from the movie The Princess Bride, in which it was written by William Goldman and performed by Mandy Patinkin. Proper credit must be given if you use this monologue in any form.
Inigo Montoya:
I do not mean to pry, but you don’t by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand? My father was slaughtered by a six- fingered man. He was a great swordmaker, my father. And when the six-fingered man appeared and requested a special sword, my father took the job. He slaved a year before he was done. The six-fingered man returned and demanded it, but at one-tenth his promised price. My father refused. Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart. I loved my father, so, naturally, challenged his murderer to a duel … I failed … the six-fingered man did leave me alive with the six-fingered sword, but he gave me these. (He touches a scar on each cheek) I was eleven years old. When I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”

No time to read this right now, but it seems to me capitalist corporate structures are usually inherently anti-Democratic. Typical late stage capitalism and all that…
2·13 days agoThat’s a “you can’t be serious” look if I ever saw one.
They have the power to do so, so why didn’t they make it at least somewhat retroactive? There’s no real reason anything released in the past five years couldn’t have been included, for example. I can see giving extra time to dust some things off & update the code, but I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request.
