Perhaps this speaks to a larger issue— how much bullying exists in the FOSS community, and what can the community - at large - do to address it, or even begin to bring awareness to it?

This argument that it’s a security vulnerability isn’t a terrible one (it’s certainly very logical and quite irrefutable), but I think there are others to be made for addressing this issue.

yeah, i think any project needs effective leadership. without it disagreements can fester into conflict and bullying becomes a bad way of resolving or beating those you are in conflict with
