Banning 5 people is actually not the same as shooting them.
Blocking work of actual devs off the cuff damns the stance of Godot.
Meanwhile the only thing Redot has accomplished to date is an angy logo.
Something tells me those "actual devs" weren't contributing anything of value, if at all.
Even if godot somehow "won" this, it's a pyrrhic victory where they've ruined their community and have made an example for future projects / and or other C# engines which are back in the spotlight.
Your defense for Godot's actions of "Most of the dev community is intact". Yeah but how about ALL of it having been intact? Absolutely nothing was gained from this. Maybe some day they'll see their error but even then, they'll have achieved less in total.
