I'm a fairly conservative guy, but reading this I cannot help but think Dries is the problem. So, Larry has a kink that is consensual that has a community and is not against the law. I'm at a loss if he hasn't harmed anyone and done anything in his speeches at the various Cons why this is a problem. Which brings us to:
While I will not share the evidence that I believe would validate the decision that I made for reasons of liability and confidentiality
Is pretty much the new "I don't have to justify my decision, it is right, and you don't get to argue" phrasing. You get to kick them out, and everyone gets to use their imagination about what further nastiness occurred. Also, they cannot fight back effectively.
- coreyp_1 10y agoDries has always been a "benevolent dictator" http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/375567/dries_buytaert_talks_drupal_leadership_open_source/ http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/375567/dries_buytaer.... I feel that your observation is correct, with one caveat: Several people kept pushing on this against Larry. They, too, are the problem. Blackmail is NEVER acceptable.

- walshemj 10y agodoesn't "for reasons of liability" imply that he/she knows that it violates natural justice and /or custom and practice
- protomyth 10y agoI'm sorry I'm not quite following could you explain a bit what you mean?
- girvo 10y agoI think they mean that if Dries says the real reason, it will be seen as discrimination and thus Dries might be liable, perhaps?
- protomyth 10y agoHe's only liable if the information is provable false.
- walshemj 10y agoNo if they don't follow procedures you can still be liable its how preps get off if cops don't maintain a proper chain of custody for evidence
- protomyth 10y agoDries is a cop? Chain of custody is a law enforcement problem not a normal person problem.
- walshemj 10y agoAh up to a point if something goes to court they will follow custom and practice i.e. there should be an appeal follow the laws of natural justice and the opposing Lawyer will attack and try to destroy you on a personal and professional level This is direct from a senior Labour lawyer I know think a shorter Malcom Tucker
- walshemj 10y agoProbably we fucked up and would get crucified if it came out
