Oh, yes, the idea of settling anything on social media is horrible.
I was just pointing out that the positions are much more binary and un-nuanced than the previous poster was claiming, even in the thread in question. I'd bet the DMA maintainer is not the only one who holds this dogmatic position, either.
I'll also note that the complaints from this maintainer aren't even social though. He is very explicit in his reasoning: two+ languages bad, single language good. There's clearly little that will change this, other than working around him (though, again, I agree that social media blackmail certainly won't improve anything).

I see you're not even considering the possibility that he might be right, so working around him would be bad.

ETA: I see on further reading that you are indeed acknowledging that possibility, good for you! I just didn't see that in this comment.
