You knew this blogpost was coming. (
A) The run-down is that Lyude dindu nuffin, and if anything it is
Vaxry who is posting "unhinged rants". Some choice quotes (dear fuck, why does he always shit out so much text):
Drew DeVault powiedział(a):
Regardless of how you feel about the conduct team issuing a private warning to Vaxry on the basis of activities outside of FDO community spaces, the email thread that ensues most certainly is within the scope of the FDO code of conduct, and Vaxry’s behavior therein is sufficient justification for a ban from the FDO community as far as I’m concerned. The conduct team cites Vaxry’s stated intention to ignore any future conduct interventions as the ultimate reason for the ban, which I find entirely reasonable on FDO’s part. I have banned people for far less than this, and I stand by it.
The classic. Start shit on flimsy pretenses, wait for a reaction, then go "anyway, who cares about the original pretense," and ban for the reaction instead.
Drew DeVault powiedział(a):
Vaxry’s follow-up blog posts only serve to underscore this point. First of all, he immediately opens with a dog-whistle calling for the reader to harass the FDO officer in question: “I don’t condone harassing this person, but here is their full name, employer and contact details”:
The full name, employer, and contact details were in the original email, Drew. You're not going to be able to turn this into a doxing story.
Drew DeVault powiedział(a):
The FDO team is right that Hyprland’s community reflects poorly on the Linux desktop community as a whole. Vaxry has created a foothold for hate, transphobia, homophobia, bullying, and harassment in the Linux desktop community. We are right to take action to correct this problem.
I thought the ban was about how Vaxry intends to ignore the CoC? Drew's inability to keep his story straight within a single blogpost amazes every time.
Drew DeVault powiedział(a):
Every option other than banning Vaxry has been exhausted over the past year and a half. I personally spent several weeks following my last blog post on the matter discussing Vaxry’s behavior in confidence and helping him understand how to improve, and at my suggestion he joined a private community of positive male role models to discuss these issues in a private and empathetic space. After a few weeks of these private discussions, the last thing he said to me was “I do believe there could be arguments to sway my opinion towards genocide”
This encapsulates perfectly what a piece of shit Drew is. It was
Drew who broke off contact after this completely out of context quote, and this entire drama started because of incidents from 1.5+ years ago, so what options were being exhausted in the intervening time? The part about how poor righteous Drew tried to resolve this in private is of course a load of horseshit, as the OP amply documents - he wrote a big fat seethepost about it immediately.
Drew DeVault powiedział(a):
And, to Vaxry – I know you’re reading this – there are going to continue to be consequences for your actions, but it’s still not too late to change. I know it’s humiliating to be called out like this, and I really would rather not have had to do so. FDO is probably not the last time you’re going to be banned if you don’t change course, and it would reflect better on you if you took it on the chin and didn’t post inflammatory rants on your blog – trust me, you don’t look like the good guy here.
Gee, why would anybody read this and think he's being threatened?
