  I'm not sure why the drive-by, off-topic, gratuitous dig at vegans, as if you've decided they're a fair target, even in a comment instructing about kindness. I downvoted and flagged your comment for that. The HN guidelines apply regardless of your subject.

    Sorry, and thanks for correcting my guideline breaking. I am a stranger in strange lands... I brought it up because its an easy way to bring a moral rightousness example on hckernews. Perhaps more merit to the idea one should think of how ones word are received without context. To me as a casual reader here its like the space and tab holy war, except actually real. I don't dislike vegans per say as eat 80% vegetarian for health reasons. Is it presumptuous to assume you are vegan and took offense? If so, could you share some viewpoints on your decision if you are?

  It might have been slightly harsh. Github did tweet to ask people to support the project, to witch the project starts comparing it to a situation where github restored their own data, as if that was unfair. The post also seems to wildly overestimate the importance of the project and the effect on github and Microsoft. It also seems to be written just to pressure github into giving the project special treatment. The post even states: "After all, GitHub has a history of taking controversial actions that go against the spirit of open source and community and then reverting them only based on public outrage." So the post seems to be made overly dramatic on purpose. As for the opinion about the UI, I do prefer it as is, if that wasn't clear. There needs to be a balance between usability and protection, and I think github has done a great job. It would of course be nice if it didn't get deleted and instead just stopped sending events.
