No. This attitude of attacking developers because of political insensibilities of clueless people is not acceptable. The author is dead wrong in that article. Not the ruby community has to be better, these people have to be blocked from it. There is no point in being nice to people so unreasonable and just plain in the wrong, this position does not deserve to be heard.

To me "be civil to each other" means don't attack people because of your political perspective. It's ok to have a political idea about say, the name of an OSS package, but if you request a change be kind about it, lay out your reasoning and don't expect that you are going to automatically get what you want.
