So what you are saying that 1) people like you, with your political ideas, should be welcome, but 2) people unlike you, with their own different political ideas, shoud be excluded? All in the name of tolerance, you would like to exclude the likes of me? Then I'm happy you are not coming! There are far too many SJW in free software anyway. I didn't use to have any problem with them, until they started to try to make me feel unwelcome, and definiting which opinion was acceptable, which was not. I don't like that. It reminds me of how it was it school. Free software has been a "refuge" for me, away from the political shenanigans of the cool kids. I'd rather avoid importing the studpid conflicts of people with an agenda.
