The vast majority of comments on https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11523 are polite and respectful.

Also, "Smaug, Anne, Emilo" did not "make the web happen." They have influenced how the web has developed, in particular favouring functionality and uses that are dependent on Javascript, and neglecting to ensure parity of opportunity for other approaches to flourish.

In my own personal experience on dealing with him, Anne is an arrogant douche who quite frankly hasn't been yelled at enough

A lot of the hate is actually justified (with the exception of hixxie)
