Using the word 'deadbeat' is offensive to dead people and other people who identify as voters.

Typo, misplaced "not". Also, you mixed "or" and "and", a common mistake.

Should we clarify that this is more a "rule" than a "note" for maintaining this document?

Thank you for your contribution, @Sarthak-Sidhant.

Unfortunately, I think that your patch fails rather miserably on the following three key points:

  1. It is not even valid Markdown, so it would not display correctly. This is annoying for a markdown page.
  2. It provides no source whatsoever for otherwise strongly opinionated assertions.
  3. It uses words such as "deadbeat" that are presumably offensive to a large fraction of the voting base in blue states.

Here are my suggestion to move forward:

  1. Add back all the source that contain the string x.com/LundukeJournal. Note that the string is considered a seal of quality by @BryanLunduke, the author of this repository, so he would appreciate the gesture.
  2. Learn about markdown syntax, there are plenty of decent tutorials. I like this one.
  3. Reword the comment about "deadbeat" journalist. I made a suggestion where I tried to preserve the spirit of your text in all its glory, but feel free to not reword it at all.

Just working for them does not mean anything, unless you do bad thing or promote bad thing, but can be a red flag if you create a software like SystemD (even thought that guy now work for microslop)
