  I teach classes for assholes to integrate with the rest of society and this a perfect case study in what not to do. Guy shoulda just let it blow over. Esp when project lead accepts the patch, he doesn't even have a canine level of sociability. Woof.

    > Guy shoulda just let it blow over. Esp when project lead accepts the patch, he doesn't even have a canine level of sociability. Woof. You're literally dehumanizing someone based on misleading information, and he's the one who's an asshole? Wow.

      That dehumanizing attitude is extremely common in first-world "social justice warrior" circles. They consciously and deliberately use shaming and bullying tactics to intimidate others into silence. They acknowledge this constantly, especially on Twitter when their bullying victims ask why the "social justice warriors" are being so cruel. Their answers are typically something like, "We need everyone to know that being a fucking asshole like you will mean everyone will mock and hate you." These activists are quite literally bullies. It's extremely important that we continue to stand up to them.

  I'm not a git expert. I wonder didn't the guy who accepted the commit kind of offend the guy who had already publicly said he wouldn't merge it? If so, reverting the commit would much likely be about something entirely different than pronouns. Suppose the merger had merged the commit before the discussion, would it also have been reverted? I rather doubt it (not knowing any of the people involved, though).

    This is exactly what happened. I think with Joyent's conduct today libuv is 100% more likely to be forked than it was yesterday. Accusing a committer of lacking empathy in an official blog post is not cool.
