We'll run out of tar and feathers at this rate.

  I kind of hoped we'd run out of sexists first.

    Probably not, which is why it is vitally important to choose battles well. This situation seems to be being sorted reasonably well without the incursion of a baying horde looking for the guys head, or Joyent's head for that matter.

    Cast your net wide enough, and you will find that at a certain point some people will perceive an injustice and will begin turning themselves 'into' sexists, just to spite you. I am spartacus. Or if you prefer, Giles Corey's refusal to plead. Begin firing people for using "him" instead of "they", and you will "radicalize" many formally apathetic people.

      Hey, no one's getting angry because someone wrote 'him' instead of 'they' in the docs. The issue is that someone inisted that this must not be changed, for no good reason, pointlessly antagonizing lots of people. If you're running an open source project and someone you pay is driving off its community, you'd probably feel justified in not giving them money anymore.
