Let's be clear – it is not pragmatism to kick productive members of the community out of it over minor issues. If anything, it's the opposite. Anyone who complains about something as trivial as the variable name in question is someone who lives for attention-seeking and virtue signaling As I've pointed out elsewhere, I find the complaint ridiculous. I'm also keenly aware that my view is not the only legitimate one; there appears to have been an number of other people who felt the same way about this particular issue. It's bad community management to tell participants that their views are not valid, and to unilaterally kick them out. One of the authors points is important – it creates a perception that complaints or suggestions will not be taken seriously. And that's not useful to a community.
