While I agree with this specific point, it seems that was the "least worse" of that person's actions.
What where his really bad actions? Can't find much info.
Using non-gender-neutral pronouns and assumptions of gender, according to a post on golem.de

#123Brace yourself. SJWs are coming after software projects this year.
I'm pleasantly surprised PHP has remained largely SJW free, probably because it's not trendy. I imagine microcontroller software development stays free of them too, largely because of the barrier to entry.
That's why I think entering development should be harder. This "everyone can code" trend only resulted in worse job candidates and a lot of people doing politics instead of coding.

To be honest, for those not (already) involved in this whole debate, it is very difficult to make an informed opinion here. What I see is a screenshot of a GitHub issue ( https://twitter.com/ohhoe/status/899748838302302212 ) which was already redacted and does no longer provide any links. Tweet in support of "anti-CoC article" is there ( https://twitter.com/rvagg/status/887652116524707841 ) but that alone would not a…
That "anti-COC" article is as anti-COC as James Damore's memo was anti-diversity. What it does is highlight how speech codes can be used by the socially hyperfluent to bully and dominate the less fluent, by placing an unreasonable burden on a speaker to have 100% prediction accuracy of every potential negative response. http://quillette.com/2017/07/18/neurodiversity-case-free-spe... That SJWs call it a strawman is ju…

#126Honestly I hate being full stack JS sometimes. Usually at least with Node lots of the green-haired retards stay away.

"We don't like the outcome, so we have to change the rules." Please note that @ag_dubs that started the shit stirring after Rod's post sits on that board and was part of that decision. Still we don't know what Rod did to her in the first place.

The 60%/40% split on both proposed sanctions indicates that the TSC had no simple unified view of the type you infer.
Some people think and others just react, it's good to know that the majority of people on the Node.js technical committee are thinkers.
Wow, that's an incredibly rude and narrow-minded comment.

I think that is wrong way to think about it. If, say, we do enforce some "barrier to entry", it would probably be some education and certification to be eligible for software development. The SJWs will make sure that they will be prioritized to be eligible for those certificates, even if it means to change the eligibility criteria to do so. And then they can basically use it to kick everyone out of software development, except for SJWs.
I think we should keep it as it is and wait it out. They will find something else in a couple of years and move on.
