It doesn't help that criticism of crappy behavior and abuse is met with cries of "Free Speech" and accusations of being too sensitive. We as a community/industry need to start calling out abusive behavior for what it is.

Yea. This comment was especially hurtful to me: http://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/2equq9/leaving_che.... The problem with most FOSS is that there's no mechanism for calling out said people, and there's little or no punitive action that can be taken.

Sure, you can block someone on GitHub, but that only causes more drama (trust me, I know).

I would love to find a solution. I'm all ears.
