sounds to me like you were trying to get them to validate your biases by making a statement that no sanely managed company (with lawyers on staff) would ever do under any circumstances. whatever your issue with Coraline Ehmke is (I have no idea what the situation there is) you should still try to conduct yourself with some kind of professionalism and decorum. politicization of OSS is indeed becoming a problem and I've seen some problematic behavior from a lot of people involved in political conflicts with this stuff. however, there is nothing more certain to undermine and destroy the OSS community than dragging yourself and everyone around you through the mud because of some internet flame wars that got a little out of hand.

That's why I was aghast that GitHub hired her, in particular, into a position to influence their abuse and community management tools. My queries to GitHub were always polite and decorous, and ditto my behaviour in person when talking to a GitHub staff member about the issue.
