In one of her latter posts she confesses that the person who was fired was a close friend of hers. So I think this is a case of her being too close to the subject matter to be objective. In fact I think she came to realise this herself but not until it was too late for her and the project:
Well that does not justify any of this trouble she caused, indeed, it only makes it worse. Even the fired person herself has finished their frienship with her.
I wasn't justifying her actions but at the end of the day witch hunts like this happen all too frequently online. It's way to easy for people to overreact and to a wider audience than ever before. The smart thing we can do as 3rd party observers is just ignore the fighting rather than participating in the outrage. Let the offended individuals vent and then let the argument disappear into obscurity. The alternative is escalation and we've seen how badly that can turn out (remember the grim Adria Richards Python conference saga which resulting in multiple job terminations and threats of sexual assault and death?).
Well it might've been a difficult week for her. The last twelve months have been truly and profoundly terrible for me, this wouldn't justify me acting mad like her though. It's obvious that she's not the kind of person to bear responsabilities.
Next day, a thread with every manager in the planet saying our team was stonewalling everything, being unhelpful, etc. etc.
My boss would come up to my cube and say, "Stop e-mailing these people! Why are you e-mailing them? Pick up the phone and call them!"
I hate to rush judgement, but looking at the statements that are out, I am really unhappy with her approach, her statements and her totalism. Just because you don't agree with a policy doesn't mean the FSF shouldn't exist. Pulling your project feels reactionary.
I'm guilty of reactionary anger too. I'm human, we're all human. We feel like we've been wronged often by our neighbours or our landlords or police. This might have just been a bad week for her and some rushed decision making. But if she's always like this and doesn't learn from it, then she'll find herself alone in other communities in the future.
Just a side note, there was a good video by School of Life on anger. I don't actually agree with all of it. Their premise is weird, but it would actually put her reaction to the FSF in a different light:
