He didn't call anyone names. He said that was a bike shed argument. Which is getting more accurate the longer this "discussion" goes on.

You've argued your point. If you like dash, then use it. There are valid reasons (which several others have made) not to force others to use it.

The decision isn't yours. Or mine. And the ones whose decision it is will switch or they won't.

Let's move on.
