I disagree. I think it was started to give exactly the bad taste that Phel is talking about in this post. It is meant to be inflammatory and reaction inducing. I don't know where it started for sure, but it smells of Bernie, and if it did originate with him, I would bet all the crypto I have that it was intended to cause a reaction.
I do agree that at this point we need to find a new term. Something less inflammatory, while still getting the point across. Reward Pool abuse doesn't have a ring to it, but does it need to?
This is a good subject for talking about. Very appropriate that @phelimint brought it up on International Women's day, or whatever they are calling it.
Interestingly the Woman's day thing was not intended. I've been sitting on this for a while and finally wanted to get it out there.
I don't know where is started by do know that it's often said by @berniesanders. I do happen to agree with much of what he's doing around here, but he does take a bit of an aggressive and inflammatory method that rubs me the wrong way.
Quit being such a fucking crybaby. I'll be back to flag this in a little while, better go spend more on bot votes...
It could be intentional, its called a frame, politics and media use it al the time.
