Coraline Ada Ehmke Joins GitHub to Fight Epidemic of Harassment

My take on this:

"To be blunt: based on observations of outspoken SJWs like yourself, hackers like myself think that there is an unspoken delta between your stated aims (which as I’ve said are often noble), and your practice, which is to use open source projects as a weapon against their contributors when they behave in politically unacceptable ways (e.g. OpalGate and Brendan Eich)."

She opened this issue on the Opal project: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941

It lead to this issue: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/942

Which asked for a code of conduct.

It forever changed how Github works, and trolls got involved in the issue threads as well. You can read the threads if you want to hear the arguments from many sides.

There's no possible way that GitHub management didn't know about her past attempts to have open source developers blackballed for their political views. The only logical conclusion is that GitHub's new management is completely comfortable with that kind of behavior.

Already transferring all my repos to Bitbucket.
