People leaving a project for J Random Reason is acceptable attrition.

People leaving because they don't agree with the majority opinion is, too.

A practice of asking people to leave, or trying to drive them away, because
they don't agree with you is not acceptable.

Charges of the latter were levied, and as I recall were supported by the
email archives.  If so (i.e., if I'm not misremembering), it's a factual
observation of behaviour, not FUD.  I suspect Noel already has the
relevant source documents ready to hand if necessary.
