It looks like the node-ipc has become a target for spam issues lately[0]. This reminds me of what happened with Notepad++[1] (except that was nothing compared to what the node-ipc maintainer did.)
EDIT: looks like Notepad++ also made a political statement about the crisis in Ukraine[2].
What the node ipc maintainer did was prove there was at least one person with scruples in this industry. Reading the rest of this thread is proving he's a minority though, depressing.
Also if you're going to delete my comments just delete my account. I'm done ignoring my industry will gladly enable dictators and pretending we are neutral. We are complicit and we need to take a stand... Or maybe we all just want to collect our fat paychecks while inventing more ways to kill people. Shrug.
I think you need to stop watching American cable news for a couple days. Acts like these will kill the open source ecosystem - an incredible achievement of humanity that showcases us at our best, working to help each other with limited individual economic incentive.
