LOL...I'm in my late fifties. I'll shout at people to get off my lawn if I like.

I don't mean to offend (though the very nature of it is probably offensive) but the way you type (capitalized lol and lmfao, etc) makes you seem like you're in high school.

Honestly I just hate people wasting time. What will happen is they'll move from one centralized software repo to the next. Using git makes no difference. Of course right now they have little choice.

I don't see why this is an issue, as there's no hassle here and no data or commit history is ever lost. Yes, github issues are lost, but that's not a part of git itself.

By the way, never tell someone truly angry to calm down. It doesn't work and often will get you beaten up.

Sometimes people don't realize that they're acting aggravated - yes, some people will want to knock you out over it (so be it), but it looked like you were having a bit of a meltdown there.

Just annoyed at idiots that bandwagoned on someone's initial comment. If I make enough stink though, maybe they'll think about it.

I don't think they bandwagoned on the initial comment, though. It's always been accepted that git is a decentralized system when compared to the likes of CVS and SVN, where you will lose things like branch and commit data when the origin leaves the face of the earth.

You and them have different definitions, and both are just as valid as the other (yours is probably better defined as "distributed", as in the work is spread amongst many machines, but decentralized works here too), but the problem people are probably having is that you're effectively yelling at them for not sharing your definition, and not accepting that they mean different things in different contexts.
