Chris Lattner's take on the “I am leaving llvm” email

This is what we get when everyone has a voice, but few have anything to say. So much interaction online seems to boil down to a minority of ideologues butting heads and driving anything like nuanced conversation into the ground. Even here that’s the case, it’s just partially suppressed by excellent moderation and strong rules, but it still boils up over and over.

How can we change this? How can the majority who don’t have all day, every day, to argue their preferred, rigid ideology deal with the incredibly loud minority who do?
