This is sad gaslighting of a reasonable concern the team had.

Having to endure some external review for what could otherwise be sensitive material.

The inability for the SJW crowd to work reasonably within very reasonable terms, to then resort to aggressive tactics such as 'demand the names and opinions of everyone on the board' and then publicly misrepresenting the situation is going to lose you a lot of favour.

Every time I read one of these stories I immediately feel sympathetic to the individual, but then upon learning more, I feel duped and maligned for having been effectively lied to.

The doors are wide open for progress, those who take it to micro-totalitarian lengths are not doing anyone any favours.
