IMO the problem is that the success of open source has attracted many who have nothing to contribute besides their amazing moral high ground. Throw a fit, make it into a news article being all "rampant sexism, racism and basically evil commonplace and accepted among open source software" and then leverage it into a speaking tour.
To generalize, have _any_ of the people claiming to have been hounded out of the open source community been able to show how they were targeted due to their status as an oppressed-type human? Or really had anything other than the most basic of "learn $hot_language in 83 minutes" type projects with less than 10 commits to their name? Why can't you just go bother some people and let the rest of us get back to work?
