It's really disappointing that people could get so worked up, over what is essentially deciding which color to paint the shed, that they chase off the project founder. I wonder if there is any way for open source communities to effectively promote the "take a step back and remember what really matters in life" approach to conflict resolution.

We've spent decades debating on the merits of spaces vs tabs, and Vim vs Emacs, and a ton of other completely pointless stuff. What you're hoping is just a pipe dream, people will get invested in the most petty and asinine stuff out there, and take it as a personal insult if you disagree.
