I don't work for Joyent. I'll continue to speak for myself and I'll continue to laugh about comments as absurd as "equality nazi." You have to laugh at the trolls, otherwise they win.
If you want to take comments out of context to support some kind of Joyent vs. StrongLoop world view it would be more effective to leave mine out of it since I don't work for either. The reality here is that there was some negative behavior by a contributor and a reaction to it, both of which have had consequences. The majority of the participants are acting on their own behalf and you should address your complaints with them, as individuals, rather than their company. Bryan, Ben, Isaac, everyone has a long history in open source much longer than their current employment and they are each responsible for their own words and behavior. To the extent we can we should minimize a company's involvement in the project. By attributing the actions of long time contributors to their current employer you are forcing those companies to involve themselves more directly, that is not a good thing, let's stop it. -Mikeal On Dec 8, 2013, at 8:59PM, Darren DeRidder <[email protected]> wrote: > Mikeal, the fact that your comment appeared on Twitter makes it no less > distasteful, or somehow irrelevant.
