From the article:

It’s our mission to help the community succeed, and by failing to protect the community, we didn’t uphold that mission.

We’re sorry.

I read this as referring to the `left-pad` package, not the `kik` package and its Dispute Resolution process, which violated the NPM Code of Conduct.

NPM was absolutely wrong on the `kik` package, but their prior blog/tumblr post said they did nothing wrong there.

Edit to Steve (rate limited): There were many things wrong with how the `kik` package was handled, but that email thread should have never made it through the process. Per NPM policy, it should have been rejected as soon as the word 'dick' was read (the threats wouldn't even need to be considered then [which, they apparently weren't anyway]).

Ah, I see.

I also disagree with what happened around kik, but not for the same reasons as you.
