Can we just build things, please?

  No, once you let the SJW's in and let them weaponize personal politics this is the result. Everyone that asked "what's so objectionable about a code of conduct?" now has their answer.

Article is massively editorialised. Here is the full unedited complaint about Rod: http://archive.is/h6lem http://archive.is/h6lem Here is the full unedited complaint about Ashley: https://archive.is/UUYwt https://archive.is/UUYwt The largest of the three items against Rod - and the only one to do with diversity - was that Rod linked to a Quilette article about codes of conduct on Twitter https://twitter.com/rvagg/status/887652116524707841 https://twitter.com/rvagg/status/887652116524707841 . People looked at Ashley's tweets for comparison - generally people are allowed to have personal politics, but if they aren't, 'kill all men' isn't a good thing to tweet https://twitter.com/ag_dubs/status/761962956431187968 https://twitter.com/ag_dubs/status/761962956431187968 - and this is described by his article as some kind of inappropriate 'hostile' 'dredging'? Ashley is an excellent contributor to both node and rust, and is pissed off about sexism for legitimate reasons, but she has indisputably tweeted sexist things that violate the CoC (if the CoC does indeed apply to Twiter) - even if they're responding to sexism with sexism. Node isn't imploding. A small and very vocal group of people hate Rod because they don't like his politics and dislike the decision.

  FYI, I don't get a full, unedited complaint. In the version I got, it reads > Note: the specific list of issues has been removed at the request of several core collaborators who felt that listing the issues was not fair to Rod

    Fixed the link to point to an older version. Thanks for letting me know.

First world problems. Let's just stick to building things getting tired of hearing diversity in every section, it's getting quite boring.
