Only one side speaking. I would wait for both parties to speak before drawing my conclusions.

This post is about open source rather than github the company. It just so happens that a lot of open source can be found on github and the site makes it easy to search across projects.

No, it's the brigade that decides.
So, a GitHub Ethical Brigade who will harass repos because an individual in the brigade decided to take offense?

#8Let's not pander to the radical "politically correct" folk.
"people publicly posting code with comments that could make so many people feel awful, unwanted, and excluded"
Really? REALLY?
Let's call this for what it really is shall we?
A group of vigilantes being dicks to people who they feel are being dicks, because of something as intangible as "hurt feelings".
Oh please, are they feeling privileged enough? In my day bullies left bruises and broke bones, not offended and hurt feelings.
I'm offended at your offence to being offended by the word "fuck" in a comment someone else wrote. If you really want to do something, write some code. Make some art. Build something. Don't bully some other guy/girl/furry/etc into sanitising their code for the newspeak of the day.
Will Wheatons law applies here - "DON'T BE A DICK"

Doesn't the repo owner still have to accept the change? And what if the owner ignores it?

#10Ok, you win. You're holier than me. I must confess, I never thought of searching people's repos for crimethink comments and variable names. Take me to the inquisitor. I'd take it as a mark of pride to be assaulted by this group of idiots.
