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.
