a list which I owe to @FFY00
As planned. Specifically in re:
Filipe Laíns (@FFY00), in post 19 of thread 57950:
If anything makes you feel uncomfortable, I would encourage you to let other people know, that is good feedback, which I personally find extremely helpful.
-
The fact that the thread was posted makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
The fact that it was started by an SC member even though the SC is supposedly not responsible for CoC matters generally, makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
The fact that the thread tries to frame itself as a general friendly reminder, but transparently is really just calling out a core dev whom I respect deeply, makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
The apparent refusal of the CoC WG to bring clarity to that situation, despite repeated requests, makes me uncomfortable.
-
The way that the entire discussion is preemptively framed in such a distinctly well-poisoning way, makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
Seeing Tim’s complaints being dismissed so offhandedly makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
Being told that “routinely impatient and dismissive” people are a net loss for the community, makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
Realizing that I’ve been forced to actually consider what the CoC says, despite that I generally have no interest in talking here about anything off-topic, and that I try to be kind and professional generally, makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
Realizing that the many terrible, baseless things said and intimated about Jack Diederich four years ago were apparently not considered CoC violations, makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
Knowing that the original context of this was a proposal to make it easier to oust PSF fellows (and most likely tarnish their reputation), and finding out after the fact that there are probably-but-not-confirmed subjects lined up for such treatment in advance, makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
Knowing that the board proposes to make decisions in secret that are fundamentally about judging someone else’s moral character, makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
Knowing that people have reached out to Tim before about fear of WG overreach, reminds me of so many other traumatic experiences from the last 17 years; and finding myself in this situation again makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
Seeing that this policing of conduct is apparently a higher priority than seeing PyCon Africa run smoothly makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
Seeing the general lack of respect in the original discussion for Joannah Nanjekye’s viewpoint (speaking as a core dev), in particular, in the first thread makes me feel uncomfortable.
-
Your advice to me, proposing that I should take direction from the people responsible for most of the above, makes me feel uncomfortable.
