Some messages only focus on a single blog post and don't appear to recognize those blogs were a response to a pattern of threats and shamings that have been going on for many years. These problems contaminate the whole community at large: for example, some people have simply written to me saying they won't contribute to any free/open source software. They don't take sides: they simply quit. They don't distinguish between the different organizations. So Fedora suffers if some other organization with a very public profile is shaming volunteers.
