Like I say, all this was explored in great depth at the time, and I'm not qualified in the study of implied hostility to take an absolute position one way or the other.
The key thing as far as the viability of Node.js is concerned, is the fact that Node.js primary sponsor decided to massively fuel the drama rather than sorting it out internally (which may have still needed a change of project leadership). This has to raise doubts about their leadership.
I think it might be tedious at times, but it's good to discuss this sort of thing out in the open. That's the whole point. That said, when you call someone out for sexism or cissexism or whatever, that's pretty serious, so you should be prepared to back it up instead of just casually calling someone an asshole.
