I'm sick of all this drama that people create around this bullshit around wrongthink and the like.

Didn't they ever learn as kids sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me?

Surely, in OSS tons of people are going to have different opinions about many things, as long as they are respectful who cares what they think?

Seriously some people in this world need to eat a bag of concrete and harden the fuck up.

The issues page says it all: https://github.com/ayojs/ayo/issues . This is not a software project. There will be no actual code written.

Indeed. I had a look at all the brouhaha on the node.js github yesterday (I love me some open-source soap-opera drama, especially when it involves non or barely-coding SJW's - it's my guilty pleasure) and had a quick look at the commit histories of the most vocal "This guy has to go!!!1!" proponents - the code-to-noise ratio is unsurprisingly low.

People shouldn't be harassed online, but they should be open to having their ideas, thoughts and beliefs challenged in a respectful way.

What's the reason they forked/main difference from Node.js?

From an issue: > I'd be open to re-merging if and when the problems plaguing Node.js are resolved. Problematic people removed; use of "policy" as an excuse ended; power structures reorganized to emphasize community over tech. So far though it seems like there's little desire to fix these problems from those with the power to do so.

emphasize community over tech

...speechless.

client: Why is there only clear text and flashing ads on my screen?

developer: Oh, yes - we implemented the new ayo libraries!

client: This looks like shit. Give me my site back!

developer: but, you don't understand! The new libraries are great, they emphasize community over tech!

client: [......]

client: [calls her P.A.] Richard, go find me a new tech team.

My point was based on sarcasm :) Reading all the noise on GH yesterday, those most vocal in having this guy kicked out are also screaming loudest about the "need to feel safe" - for me, this usually induces a gag reflex:

- "I am going to find where you live and do something nasty to you" In my personal view, all these fucking "name and shame" SJW's that sit on their high fucking horses judging people are a shameless pack of vicious fucking bullies, shrouded in virtue-signalling.

If somebody goes around in projects making threats or being grossly offensive in a general sense of the word, by all means address the situation. However, this situation - like countless others - is simply a concerted bullying effort.

I am not involved in node.js in any way, and stay very, very, fucking far away from any kind of open source participation after going through something similar with Sun and OpenOffice.org many years ago but this kind of bullshit makes me rage.
