You could have just said this (maybe you did when linking the code of conduct) instead of writing a paragraph of confrontational arguments and it would have looked way better imho.

If this was true every oss project would either be dead or be entirely comprised of dicks, neither of which are the case.

Yup, you're right, I should have. We will adjust the CONTRIBUTING.md accordingly.

I didn't say every OSS project, I said projects like Homebrew. I know that Homebrew would be dead without many of my personal interventions. You can believe me or not but, unless you're a Homebrew maintainer, it's unlikely your opinion about what happens behind the scenes is informed.
