Recently I've been blocked from the git-for-windows Github repository because of this (https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2674#issuecomment-643795833) comment. At the same time the following user was not blocked and his comment hasn't been marked "off-topic" until the issue was closed to "only collaborators" due to the high rate of people disagreeing with the motivations of the issue.

It is appalling that the repo's maintainers kept this comment and allowed the user to continue interacting, while suppressing and blocking users who were on-topic, having a civil, respectful discussion but happened to disagree with the issue's author (dscho - https://github.com/dscho) reasons. I am sending this message in the git mailing list because the git-for-windows project is very closely related to it and because I wasn't even able to defend myself there. I don't even want to be unblocked from that repo, as this is the way things are done there. But all of you should know what's happening and be aware that "community" doesn't mean what it once used to. Now it's just "people who agree with PC reasons for doing stuff".
