From this document, it appears something obviously wrong is happening in this community, but as an outsider new to all this, it's very hard to understand what's going on.

The document is very long and I don't really get the structure. It's very hard to make anything of it really. It somewhat makes me suspicious, even. I would write exactly like this if I knew how to do this and had to sidestep an issue. Long, hard to follow stuff filled with words.

Is there a clear summary, an easy-to-follow timeline? (of course these are always going to be presented from one side)

Also,

> Simultaneously, this group, still upset about the failure of RFC 98, is using the myth of fascism combined with an abusive extension of the paradox of tolerance

- What is the myth of fascism?

- What is the abusive extension of the paradox of tolerance?

I get the paradox of tolerance is that you can't really tolerate intolerance or else you'll be eaten. [1]

> The paradox of tolerance states that if a society's practice of tolerance is inclusive of the intolerant, intolerance will ultimately dominate, eliminating the tolerant and the practice of tolerance with them

It appears the bulk of the actual requested changes are here: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/175

When there's stuff like this going on, I don't think it's helpful to try and do a full review of who did what wrong, or what the hypothetical motivations of any of these groups of people are, but instead to just review the actual proposed policy changes.
