The most important problem was omitted entirely - from article and you reasoning tooThe most important problem was omitted entirely - from article and you reasoning tooPosted Oct 4, 2007 9:55 UTC (Thu) by epa (subscriber, #39769)In reply to: The most important problem was omitted entirely - from article and you reasoning too by khim Parent article: Yet another male perspective on women in free software
Free software communities reject all normal people who insist on manners and tact in conversations? WTF? Do you have any examples?

You can find samples in the other threads. Posted Oct 4, 2007 12:36 UTC (Thu) by khim (guest, #9252) [Link] You only need few such guys in a mailing list to drive "normal" people away. Take a look on drobbins story is you want example. Ciaranm is technically brilliant jerk here - so Gentoo developers were not ready to send him away and continue without his help. Thus few "normal" people (if you even can call Daniel normal) were driven away. I'm not saying all FOSS developers have such ideas ingrained. But few (may be even very few - it does not matter) of them certainly do - and if others choose them over "normal" people (and that's quite often the case) then "normal" people (including women) will be driven away.
