It didn’t impact me as a user, and I let the maintainers deal with their drama.

was publicly being rude to the point of making other contributors leave (even after being asked to stop) and at least one case of using a slur

generally the kind of person that gives open source a bad reputation, you can be critical or anti-social without being an asshole
