That "in-depth argument" is absolutely loaded with hyperbole and newspeak:

  being a public figure can be a *VERY DANGEROUS* role.

  Karen Sandler has been under *VIGOROUS ATTACKS*—hate mail, public slandering, and more

  the *HATE* has not died down

  You still see *WRETCHED HIVES OF SCUM AND VILLAINY* like this blog post on a regular basis (warning: the comments over there are depressing)

And let's rewrite history while we're at it:

  The whole point of an outreach program is to help restore a balance to this messed up I.T. industry of ours.

Hmm, that's curious. I don't recall it ever being "balanced," but I guess if we bombard everyone with a lie for long enough it will eventually become a Truth.

Then the author follows up:

  [...] if you are going to comment on my blog on this particular blog post, stay civil and think thrice about what you’re going to say. And don’t be so quick to pejoratively label me a “SJW” just because I’m personally standing up for someone here

Let's call a spade a spade. The author is a SJW. Linux people are legitimately concerned about this Karen Sandler character, and they have every right to raise those concerns. But let's censor them and shame everyone into compliance because, well, that tactic actually works! We all fall for it.
