The Node.js World Is Imploding

The largest of the three items against Rod - and the only one to do with diversity - was that Rod linked to a Quilette article about codes of conduct on Twitter https://twitter.com/rvagg/status/887652116524707841 .

People looked at Ashley's tweets for comparison - generally people are allowed to have personal politics, but if they aren't, 'kill all men' isn't a good thing to tweet https://twitter.com/ag_dubs/status/761962956431187968 - and this is described by his article as some kind of inappropriate 'hostile' 'dredging'? Ashley is an excellent contributor to both node and rust, and is pissed off about sexism for legitimate reasons, but she has indisputably tweeted sexist things that violate the CoC (if the CoC does indeed apply to Twiter) - even if they're responding to sexism with sexism.

Node isn't imploding. A small and very vocal group of people hate Rod because they don't like his politics and dislike the decision.
