On another note I'm not sure what is the matter with the world when we give so much support to the snowflakes out there. I'm not saying public speakign is easy, for most it just sucks but if you are not willing to grow as a person then there is really no justification for being on stage.

First of all, I'd like to say that I think the Q&A-sections are definitely an important part of presentations since they help to clarify misunderstandings on the spot and invite comments, which might be very helpful. At least, this is how it should be in an ideal world. But then there is this:

Nonetheless, this is something you have to get used to. Personally, I find questions out of genuine interest quite helpful. However, if you have severe doubts and criticism about someone's presentation, wait for the coffee break and voice those without an audience so it can actually be discussed. This doesn't always happen.

and now you can not even ask a question because a snowflake is hurt by your question...
because this fucking snowflakes are offended by your question and your master and slave words and your freedom of speech.
holy holy holy shit... how can this crap happen ?
Are these the biggest concerns in your life? Get a grip.
Primary/Replica is more descriptive than master/slave. In the end, functionality is all we care about.
Linus already commented that he wants nothing to do with you guys on the CoC change, so keep harping on about that.
And about the Q&A, in my opinion this should solely be up to the presenter. Unless, there are time constraints, I don't see any reason not to include a Q&A. It can only further the discussion and spawn more ideas. If the speaker isn't comfortable with a Q&A, then they likely do not feel comfortable enough to speak on the topic.
