Could you elaborate on the toxicity articles?
This is a pretty good overview. There have been several HN discussions on this matter.
I’m not saying Vaxry is right or did nothing wrong, or that Drew’s portrayal is wrong, but what you linked is just Drew’s personal musings on the situation.
I’ve seen someone be viciously attacked online for being bigoted against people who are less mentally able, only for it to surface after the attacks (and professional consequences) that the “bigotry” was calling someone a moron a few times.
Be careful about taking sides when you have only one side of the story. Not long ago HN harassed a Google employee for supposedly stealing a JavaScript accessibility project, only for it to later come to light that the accuser was dealing with some difficult personal situations that caused him to portray the entire thing lopsidedly.
Drew's personal musings on the situation form a reasonable overview in this case. Even a fraction of the evidence publicized is enough to justify the label "toxic."
I see a wm's main developer attacking a developer of another wm, and it's not pretty.
