> But is it right to just remove people because they made a mistake, even a slightly grave one? [...] this post doesn’t seem to explain what went on behind the scenes
The apology omitted the details in an (in my view wise) attempt to take the high ground, but Kyle has been having a full fledged meltdown lately, and that includes a lot of bullying and harassment on both twitter and github (and perhaps on other platforms).

Even if there was, Kyle hasn't been a contributor to Lerna for some time, and he stated during the controversy that he'd abandoned the project in favour of a competing project Bolt. In the circumstances, keeping Kyle on the team would seem to have no benefits, and removing him has no costs. Even if there were other resolutions (like, I dunno, giving him a stern talking to and telling him not to do it again?) why would that be preferable?
