As an individual you have to tolerate people you don't like. But as a group you don't have to tolerate behavior that's damaging to the group as a whole. A community doesn't have to accept everyone into it; its members can agree that they all must hold a shared standard of behavior as a condition for membership.
That's what's going on here. You've said elsewhere that you don't think github should be a community or encourage community behavior. That's fine, you can move along. Plenty of us do want to collaborate with others in a community environment, and setting standards of behavior is a necessary condition for that. So I'm happy with this change.
