I think the goal here is to prevent a toxic atmosphere in Open Source communities. The problem is that to enforce this it may remove freedoms that some Open Source advocates feel is important. Thus we have heated conversations between those for and against the Personal Non Grata.

I could be wrong on the whole thing. I'm not well versed in what is going on but based on what I see this is my understanding.

ESR is right, and his banning, ironically, proves his point. To hell with the sanctimonious bastards in the OSI who did this.
