This will probably get flagged and removed given the recent controvery, but at least hear me out. I'm not at all trying to troll. I genuinly do not understand how this is supposed to work.

I'm the author of numerous extensions, one being the most popular for the language it supports. I have several .NET projects dealing with text/programming related things, from parsing, to code analysis, and more. One of those projects actually caught the attention of another team at Microsoft.

I have not ever worked as a programmer. For various reasons I was unable to finish college beyond an A.A. I very much would like to, ideally at Microsoft. So more recently I have been looking for a project to begin contributing to, to help further prove I know what I am doing, but also to demonstrate an understanding and ability to work within the typical MS workflow.

So now we get into my concern and why I'm filing this as a bug report. I beleive there is a fundamental bug in how these things are handled. Let me explain.

I am autistic. My very existence is a matter of offense to some people. One only needs to do a cursory search to find that's the case. If I contribute to this project, and someone files an issue claiming offense to this, the action is what exactly? To remove any and all of my contributions? After all "even a single person being offended is one too many".

Again, I'm not trying to troll. I'm genuinely trying to understand the situation and if it's even okay for me to contribute to this project. I fail to see how anything could exist which isn't offensive to someone, so I have to ask where that line is drawn, because I'm not able to see it on my own.
