    “Technical taste” is the wrong angle here, and I see this a lot in FOSS. No amount of “good” or “great” technicality makes up for the fact that his personal views are abhorrent.

    The first question we should ask is “are they a decent person” and the answer here is a hard no, so technical taste doesn’t even matter.

      I guess what I’m trying to say is that his contrarian personal views and his contrarian technical views are both expressions of some underlying contrarian-ness. Not that we shouldn’t be asking if he’s a decent person, just that I’m not super surprised to find out he’s gone mask off weirdo.
