It's insulting and rather ignorant that summerstay associated LW with the type of person Munroe was mocking. That type of person is pretty much the opposite of what LW is about.
It is certainly the opposite of our ideal. Practice sometimes falls short.
"Falling short" means not finishing first in the race. This is more like running in the opposite direction.
I think we could apply the lessons, anyway, but Munroe might have our community in mind specifically. The alt-text refers to emotional biases. I'm just curious if others got the same impression.
