OSS is a bit different because of the lack of profit-making, so I'm excluding that in my comment here.

In general, I don't think there's anything at all wrong with deciding that the goals a person or company is working towards are so objectionable to you that you don't want to contribute to their income streams and thereby support those goals.

I am not saying that if someone has poor leadership skills they should stand all I am saying is it should not be because of their beliefs. I mean why are they referencing his blog posts and not github issues of poorly handled pull requests.

I mean why does the leader have to align with your faith. If this escaletes youll realize that people will discriminate patches of contribution because they came from some who is "muslim" or "christian".

Yeah there's nothing wrong with not supporting people you don't like. Fork and move on.

However what the GitHub repo is an example of is straight up bullying. They're trying to force the Rails org to fall in line...

I mean it's divisive. When you divide people up, it creates more divide and hate. So have fun with that.

I don't see what's divisive about it. I'm not talking about evangelizing for or against anything, I'm talking about personal choices about what you want to contribute to. I don't see why people should feel obligated to support things that they think are wrong or dangerous.

		Are you supporting the software or running a purity test for others involved. It seems backwards to leave a blogging platform project because other people helping make that blogging platform have different views. They might even use it to make a blog about something you wouldn't. They might say something dangerous like the right sucks or the left sucks. The internet was better without real names. The less people know about you the less prejudices you face.
