Should we not worry about queer folk? Or the socially disadvantaged? Fair point about the "newcomers" notwithstanding, it doesn't count as building bridges when the only bridges you mention are the ones that would benefit yourself.
(Not that it's wrong to right wrongs that affect you personally, not at all. But combining that self-serving bias with a pretence of inclusivity is a direct route to a 100% grade on my bullshit-o-meter.)

I think you're largely ignoring the text of the comment to which you're pretending to reply. My comment, with respect to Adria, addressed only her letter. I claim that her letter was full of bullshit, both in-context and without context. I've made my own judgements about her other actions, but in fact I have not published those opinions. Maybe you'd like to post your comment as top-level, so you don't hijack the context of my comment?
> Also, her publicly shaming them is nothing compared to the backlash, sexism, racism, and harassment she has faced.
I will note that I agree with this, but consider it completely beside the point in a discussion of Adria's behaviour, especially all of the behaviour that preceded the backlash.
