This was horrible to read.

What do you mean? Writing style? It's my run on sentences isn't it.

I think this piece would have been stronger if it were just 3 - 5 examples and then discussion. If the piece is going to be billed as a call for discussion about sexism, then the piece should be mostly about sexism rather than about things not related to sexism that went wrong with the project.

Also, for what it's worth most of the questionable behavior I see comes from the developers who are part of open source culture rather than from the ones who are part of startup culture. Not sure if others agree or disagree.

> billed as a call for discussion about sexism

I'm curious why some people seem to think that she is exclusively talking about or attributing her problems to sexism. The very first sentence:

> Some parts of this article deal with misogyny, sexism, and harassment, while other aspects of it respond to experiences of down-right douche-baggery.

...explicitly states that sexism is only part of the discussion. Was this edited at some point after publishing? Perhaps some readers not carefully perusing, or some combination thereof.

Fair enough, I forgot about that part by the end.

Came here wondering the same thing. I think I will pass on this one.

Looks like they are going to make their money by improving the email user experience.

This is absolutely sad and pathetic.

I agree. It is a quick reminder that if another person would have had access to it, that it could have been quite different. Potentially malicious.

It would be nice to know the future in most cases.

This happens to me all the time as well. As a "quick to anger" person this is the WORST thing you can do (un)intentionally!
