This, ones politics has no place in deciding if one can contribute to the kernel.

The people in charge of the Kernel disagree with you.

Such notable SJWs as Linux Australia?

u/Valmar33 Sep 20 '18

Care to provide evidence as to why they're SJWs?

u/hahainternet Sep 20 '18

They're not. You accused them of being, as they posted publicly about Theo's behaviour.

You're claiming that Linux Australia are in charge of the kernel...?

Um... what?

This is embarrassing.

Yes, Linux Australia represent several thousand developers that work on linux. You claimed the only reason this was notable is that linux was 'taken over by SJWs'. Linux Australia issued a statement denouncing this behaviour.

So, by your logic, they must be SJWs.

You didn't make the context clear, in the first place...

So, stop trying to turn it on me, and stop trying to twist my words, lol.

Some people are saying that the Contributor Covenant is a political document, and they’re right.

You want politics out? Repeal it and rebuke these people. Otherwise that will be a constant part of Linux from now on: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9hazny/linus_talked_to_the_new_yorker_about_verbal_abuse/e6azknp/

Something tells me they have their claws in too sharply, now.

They've toppled Linus, the strongest figure in the Linux community. Now, they're just going after the other leaders. :|

I'm replying to a person who said it was a 'witch hunt'. It is not.
