I think this can be considered a personal attack, which goes against the code of conduct.

The code of conduct suggests behavior like:

 * Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
 * Showing empathy towards other community members

It seems to me the above comment is an example of the opposite.

If you feel that my feedback is pointless, then don't engage with it. There's no need to put aggravating labels, especially on a public setting. Even if most people agree with you.

I tolerate your opinion, but it's just that; an opinion.

I think you should treat it as such (an opinion), and not blatantly disregard the viewpoints of people you disagree with, and worse; publicly suggest others do the same.

The Git project engages in outreach programs precisely to increase the diversity of the project, and this interest should not exclude diversity of thought. Seems counterproductive to allow these kinds of attacks against a minority opinion. It is in fact the minority opinion that needs protection, the majority opinion can defend itself.

Cheers.
