Coraline Ada, who created the notorious "Contributor Covenant" and works for GitHub, tweet this in response to the Richard Spencer assault: "Why didn’t anyone punch the reporter giving the nazi air time?" archive.is/JgsrK#selection-4031.0-4031.62

GitHub staff member claims that bringing this to their attention is "taking some, obviously sarcastic, quotes out of context". archive.is/Hehbx#selection-743.214-743.371
Remember, GitHub cannot enforce their TOS against you if you are being "sarcastic" or are taken out of context.
GitHub's Atom repo uses the Contributor Covenant. The creator of the Contributor Covenant has violated both GitHub TOS (archive.fo/DeTBm#selection-861.28-861.75) and the Contributor Covenant by making a "threatening" tweet about the reporter who interviewed Richard Spencer when he was assaulted (archive.is/JgsrK). GitHub staff refuses to acknowledge this infraction and an employee closes and locks the issue on the Atom repo when this is brought up, claiming that the opener was "taking some, obviously sarcastic, quotes out of context" (archive.is/Hehbx#selection-743.221-743.269).
Longplay:
The creator of the Contributor Covenant also gave her own spin to the "punch Nazis" fad after Richard Spencer's unprovoked assault. In reference to this assault, she went beyond the norm of condoning unprovoked violence against just the white nationalist and asked, "why didn’t anyone punch the reporter giving the nazi air time?" (twitter.com/CoralineAda/status/823064825366360065)
On April 9. this tweet was brought up in a GitHub issue on the Contributor Convent: "Violent maintainer should be removed from project" (archive.is/FCWG6).
A day later an issue was opened on GitHub's Atom repo, asking "Why is Atom using the Contributor Covenant?" (archive.is/gc4ov)
The issue mentions both the original tweet that Coraline posted and her response when closing the issue on the Contributor Covenant repo. It notes that Coraline is in violation of both GitHub's TOS and her own CoC and "the only way this person can continue to operate on GitHub and on her own project is through the selective enforcement of both of these guidelines".
In response to this, a GitHub Community Manager closed and locked the issue. He dismissed the tweet and her defense of it as "some, obviously sarcastic, quotes out of context" (archive.is/Hehbx#selection-743.214-743.270). He also went on to rationalize closing and locking the thread (ie: making it so any other users could not comment on it) by claiming it was because "this is obviously a vendetta that has nothing to do with Atom".
As an aside, during "OpalGate" the creator of the Contributor Covenant opened an issue on the Opal demanding a frequent contributor be removed for comments he made on Twitter (archive.is/3ovLg) (it is also worth noting that she never linked to anything the programmer actually said but to how an ANTIFA member construed them (archive.is/8ZQin)). She went on to make unsolicited contact with the programmer on Twitter by demanding he "retract and apologize for transphobic behavior and donate to a transgender charity of her choice" (archive.is/daiyf#selection-4217.4-4217.99).

Kick her ass.

Hasn't github been pozzed as fuck for something like 5 years? Right around the time mozilla got pozzed iirc.

Tumbr SJWs who should be kept far away from any power are legion and she's no different. GitHub needs to answer for hiring her, or this needs to be so costly for them that they're made an example of.
