I want to just program without all the backstabbing and treachery. In this case, the drama at this organization in particular is so intense it manifests itself in the news. The creator of javascript, a pillar of the internet, was publicly humiliated and crucified. Why? They knew his name. They looked up his voting records. That's witchhunting. It's letting a bunch of people in the peanut gallery dictate what goes on - that's not integrity or leadership. I already suffered enough due to office politics, I feel no need to compromise my identity to voice my opinion.

If you just want to program, then why are you leaving comments like this? You're passive aggressive behavior is more office politics.

  Maybe because he wants to raise the issue about what is going on? Fight fire with fire, kiddo.

I want to just program without all the backstabbing and treachery. I mean, for someone who just wants to program you're creating an awful lot of drama. I don't really buy your complaints, which come off as mostly baseless ranting. If I were to read a blog post that raised some of those issues in a constructive manner, I might have more confidence in your legitimacy. As it is, though… I don't really believe you.

  No comment on their specific claims or validity - but the overarching issue does exist. /r/GitInAction exists specifically to highlight what they are talking about in regards to Open Source projects and, more specifically, GitHub projects where this exact issue is occurring. A bunch of non-programmer busy-bodies opening issues about wording or grammar without so much as submitting a pull-request to fix it (likely because they don't even know how to open a pull-request, because they don't use Git, because they don't actually code using GitHub). It isn't a stretch of the imagination to think a corporation as large as Mozilla has a few of those busy-body types in it. It's turned into internal politics, raising non-issues, and creating a fuss around any wrongthinkers to get them fired or scrutinized. Rather than programming.

  Haha yeah because it's not like this is going on everywhere in tech. Nope this is a non-issue and exMozilla is a misogynist racist asshole, how dare he oppose us.
