Meritocracy is the belief that those with merit float to the top - that they should be given more opportunities and be paid higher.
We prize the idea of meritocracy and weigh merit on contribution to OSS. Those who contribute the most, goes the general belief, have the most merit and are deemed the most deserving. Those who contribute less or who don't at all contribute to OSS are judged to be without merit, regardless of the fact that they have less access to opportunity, time, and money to allow them to freely contribute.
As the people who exist within this supposed meritocracy don't exist within a vacuum, we also have to realize how our actions affect others. Meritocracy creates a hierarchy amongst the people within it. Some of those at the top or striving to at least be above other people have been guilty of using their power for bullying, harassment, and sexist/racist/*ist language that they use against others directly and indirectly. This creates an atmosphere where people who would otherwise be deemed meritorious within this system choose not to participate because of a hostile, unrewarding environment.
Yes if you contribute to OSS projects don't you dare think that's merit.
Ad hominem ? and Strawman at the same time and psychoanalysis.

How would it be their decision? It would be Google's. Google would get to decide what is behaviour that can be forgiven.
Google only conveys the information. THe end users do what they want with it.
My heart bleeds.
You of course completely ignore the opportunity for abuse this provides. If something is to be forgiven, or if a person wants to take a chance that should be their decision, not the states.
I.E. None. Just one more example of a slow motion shakedown in action.
Oh and btw 57% of the man made co2 was put in the atmosphere in the 18 year period

LOL not surprised anyone hides behind AC on this.
The gloom and doomers are notably brittle, the only things they dislike more than unbelievers are unbelievers with legitimate points.
If you want empirical evidence of this, just post a list of failed predictions from the warming crowd.
Here's a starter for you

Oops looks I angered one of the hope and change people. Tell me which bothers you more, the complete failure of your guy or it's sheer obviousness ?
For the rest of us no surprise at all. 40 years ago I studied graph theory with a professor that was also a competitive karate fighter.
Vote Starlight Glimmer for President in 2016. As the equalist candidate, Starlight invites all of America to experience true friendship for the first time. Starlight believes in an America where people don't flaunt their special talents because they have no special talents to flaunt.
Pretty sure she has been running the country for the last 6 years.
Puts me a couple laps ahead in a thread where people don't think so they can look cool.
Talk when the environmental alarmists actually get a prediction or a policy decision right.
Now go away and find another way to save the world.
The answer to the question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is... Four day work week, Two ply toilet paper!
