It's become apparent after seeing the original poster of this thread's 
twitter account. That I would like X.org to refrain from politics and 
focus on code, just code. Not venture into what people decide is 
acceptable views and behaviors.

It is unacceptable for X.org to go after people that is not what Open 
Source is. We are not some political movement.

My values are to spreading X/Wayland to more people to use, contribute. 
How they do so and what their political views, beliefs are none of my 
business and is NOT the business of Open Source.

We are to encourage people to participate, being polite, not bashing 
their views however correct or incorrect they are.

Thanks,
Shawn.
