I really dislike giving HN exposure to this kind of issue; it only brings us the forbidden pleasure of voyeurism while not helping the maintainers & contributors in the slightest – and can even crystallize conflicts while we eat popcorn. Let us let them take their time, wash their dirty laundry among themselves, and take the time they need to go forward on the project.

  Please tell me what people who would discover this thread on HN could constructively add to this conversation. > Real discussion and transparency can involve multiple viewpoints that conflict with each other while each having their plusses and minuses. Which is exactly what's currently happening between the concerned people in the GH issue.

Yeah that was my point.

      At least one reasonable bar is not effectively vandalizing other communities by airlifting in a bunch of uninvolved commenters into an already drama filled situation.

Ideally, this will be resolved diplomatically by someone who knows how to handle these personalities. From that point we might learn from their example.

  i vote for someone like dang to handle these open-source drama episodes. i have limited knowledge on what is being discussed but i echo the "ego-driven" comment below. because it's Sunday. and the replies are coming in so fast that it's certain, they are not giving enough thought to the other side's argument. and already talking about forking, not accepting collaborators, etc.

There's an opportunity for a wider discussion about how these situations should be handled. We can all learn and grow from that.

  Such discussions are dime a dozen on any major GH repo, no need to follow the latest, most fashionable, scandal.
