GOOD NEWS, EVERYBODY: Linux SJW assault turned back. “Led by the meritocratic example of Linus Torvalds, the Linux development community successfully defeated an attempt by an SJW entryst to impose ‘civility and professionalism’ i.e. a weaponized code of conduct, on the community.”

Some commenters at Vox Day’s blog post have called attention to the SJW entryist’s own words about her work. Here’s one example, from her blog (bold by VD commenter “Salt”):

The thing is, reaching the goal of a diverse community is a step-by-step process. There are no shortcuts. Each step has to be complete before the next level of cultural change is effective. It’s also worth noting that each step along the way benefits all community members, not just diverse contributors.

Here’s another quotation, pointed out by commenter “BunE22” (with mild censoring on my part):

Go look at Dreamwidth, the open source Livejournal fork. It has a good code of conduct, so developers are civil to each other. They encourage all patch submissions, and take the time to work with people who don’t understand their community rules.

The result: 75% of their developers are women. If you give a flying f*ck about diversity, and want to attract women to your open source project, your developers need to be civil, and not verbally abuse each other.
