So basically social justice warriors tried to start a COC-based witch-hunt to get someone removed from nodejs, they failed, and now they are bitter about the whole affair, and forked node into a irrelevant nonofficial repo?

That's it? I'm happy. The toxic SJWs are out. Sounds good for the project as a whole.

tl;dr

> On Tuesday, the thirteen-member steering committee came together to vote on whether to remove Rod Vagg, a TSC member and Node.js contributor, over his controversial statements on Twitter and GitHub that prompted complaints. They also voted on whether to ask Vagg to resign.

I am always curious about what the statement was. When it comes to SJWs they usually do not want to display that because it is often such silly things.

IDK what they were but I find it irritating that having unpopular ideas can get you in trouble like this. His views are probably opposite of my ones, but still, I cant stand the hypocrisy in these situations and how easily these supposedly smart people are successfully pushed to go witch-hunting.
