I missed all this, what did rvagg do? Why are some people upset enough to try to vote him off the island, and leave when it didn't happen?

Seems he committed the cardinal sin of expressing support for Free Speech and questioning some aspects of Codes of Conduct. One can not even question the codes of conduct, they are written on stone and are beyond criticism and questioning...

... or he committed the cardinal sin of questioning the Code of Conduct, and when challenged on it, responding with snark and condescension, demonstrating the need in the community for a Code of Conduct.

I'm not that surprised. Nodejs has coorperate and investor interest. Rvagg seemed to more of a doer than a talker in general while it certain involved didn't offer too much. I'm hoping this eventually leads to a fork but it probably won't. I imagine there needs to be enough concentrated power to fork and I doubt there is enough developers interested to do it.

So you mean he actually contributed to the code instead of inventing new ways to police what can be said on Twitter? What an horrible person.

So he dared to be in favour of anti-CoC article in one of his Twitter posts and thus unleashed the SJW brigade? What an heinous crime.

I think that's an uncharitable reading. It's one thing to be anti-CoC. It's another thing to be anti-CoC when you're on a committee whose job is to maintain and enforce the CoC. There's nothing dishonorable about saying "I don't think I agree with the goals of the job that I am doing, so I will let someone else do it," but he didn't do that.

It's sort of like going to work for customs while being a strong believer in open and unrestricted borders, apologizing to people about the existence of customs and waving them through, and then complaining about "the alt-right brigade" when people ask if you're actually the right person for the job.

He expressed himself against The Word, so he deserves to be cast out, publicly shamed and never find a job anymore.

>>responding with snark and condescension

Tell me it is not soo... Not snark and condescension.... Why that is the most terribleist thing ever....

it makes me sad that we has a society seem to be reject the concept of Free Speech in favor of speech codes and acceptable Speech with punishment for anyone that does not use the "correct words"

"It is evidence to others that Node.js may not be serious about its commitment to community and inclusivity. https://twitter.com/nodebotanist/status/887724138516951049 "

So one SJW hardcore feminazi has her feelings hurt because she had to read an article by someone who's accused to be a MRA. God forbid someone fight for men's rights but she's allowed to be a hardcore feminist.
