Step into the fire, get burned in the fire. Stop politicizing everything.

Unnecessarily emotional and unprofessional, but what do I know

They are an excellent writer, so it's a loss for them to leave, but I can't shake the feeling that people who look for a sense of community in an OSS project are barking up the wrong tree. Can it exist? Sure, but it seems to have a lot more fragility for various reasons we can all guess at. I don't think your local book-club or whatever community has the same weaknesses.

This is what happens when you don't purge toxic people from your project -- your best people up and walk away.

  Glad that's not what happened here. The best people were excommunicated and burned at the stake for their heretical views because they didn't purge the toxic fundamentalists from the project.

    Hacker culture is inherently antiauthoritarian, therefore queer and leftist. If you have a problem with queer leftists in your hacker community, you are the problem and need to leave.

        Now the grandparent comment got [flagged]. Posting again for posterity: >Hacker culture is inherently antiauthoritarian, therefore queer and leftist. Best example of Poe's Law that I've seen on HN in ages. Leftism is hilariously authoritarian, and hacking culture never had anything to do with sexuality/gender. >If you have a problem with queer leftists in your hacker community, you are the problem and need to leave. Yes, I have a problem with totalitarian, authoritarian fundamentalist leftist. If you're OK with them in your hacker community, you are the problem and need to leave.

japanese comics as a profile picture is always a red flag.
