While I agree with your point that most bullied people are rendered helpless because of a huge power differential, how can this be extended to a community based entirely on free association? Worst case, you stand up and leave.
Compared to the military, where you are "kept" using a state's monopoly of deadly force, hence any bullyig situation is way much harder to resolve because you're unable to leave.
Is everyone entitled to partake in communities like the kernel org if they so choose, even against it's founder's wishes?
