#2I'm only going to make one comment on this thread:
If you use this thread to make disparaging comments about Shanley, you're missing the point and you're doing it wrong. Go look at how respectfully I tried to treat Shanley when she gave me tons of crap, and then go do the same thing. Shanley's abuse does not make your abuse okay.
Let's all be kind to each other! :D

#3This whole thing leaves me feeling like I just watched a dog get kicked for bringing the wrong color tennis ball to its owner.
Chad seems to have made a fundamental category error: he thought he was dealing with a person who wanted to have a reasonable, productive discussion. In reality, he was dealing with a vicious bully who wanted to hurt him.
This Shanley person sounds like she has a lot of anger. Maybe it's justified. Maybe someone did something terrible to her, and this horrific persona is a logical defense mechanism. But I feel like it probably wasn't Chad's fault.

#4Thanks for posting this. I feel the discussion around this topic has become particularly vitriolic; it's nice seeing individuals attempt to recenter the dialog on dialog.

Edit: Well, at least I hope we're trying to dialog about this, our community needs it. I can't believe some of the stuff I'm seeing on Twitter right now: can we please just admit there's an issue here, and work together to resolve it?

> he was dealing with a vicious bully
Really? Posting on twitter and github doesn't make you a vicious bully. Chad's whole post seems super defensive and unprofessional, which is typical when you point out the privilege of the privileged.
