Any group of people leading an organization can fracture because of a fight; it's nothing new, and the fact that it happened on twitter is immaterial.

Agreed. Given the list of problems was removed from the GH issue, I have no idea what this is about, and no way of forming an opinion on any of it. I at least will flag it.

There is plenty of information in the comments to this post to get an idea of what it is about. I respectfully suggest that you get some insight before suppressing the post through flagging.
