It's open source! Don't like it fork it! Simple as that. You're not forced to work with anyone you don't want to for any reason.

This always feels like a self tell for people with a very authoritarian mindset.

Just because someone like yourself would use conduct to exclude individuals from participating does not mean that others will.

"You're not forced to work with anyone you don't want to for any reason."

I think that is the point here. The developers had a disagreement, and now some of them and some community members, and a crowd of previous completely uninterested people are now sending death threats and spamming the forums and github. Some people do not seem to think that their is enough room in this world for disagreement and deciding to work separately.
