I see people are getting outraged on both sides, but the thing is we really don't know anything about what happened.
>Buytaert capped off his rebuttal by implying there's more to the story than Garfield indicated. "What makes this difficult to discuss, is that it is not for me to share any of the confidential information that I've received, so I won't point out the omissions in Larry's blog post," he wrote. Within the Drupal world, the air of mystery created by Buytaert's insinuation has only served to heighten the controversy.
So there is missing information. Community projects, ones where you are having to make important decisions and interact with many people, require many positive attributes. This may be a case of discrimination for their private life, but it may also be a deeply vested ideal that seeps into their work.
Transparency is also a double edged sword for Larry and the org, too. If he really did confess that he believes women should be subservient to men, should you put that in a blog post, or just let them go? I think letting them go is a much more proffessional and moral method, so they can continue on without a worse stain.
- nsxwolf 10y agoWhen I hear someone make an insinuation like that I assume there's no factual basis and that they're a huge asshole. It's only fair. If you really have something you can't talk about, then the right thing to do is shut your mouth, not say "Oh, there's just so, so much more to this story, if only I could tell you you'd really know what a horrible person this guy is" That should never be acceptable. Anyone can do it to anyone and it's bullshit.
- ajsalminen 10y agoThe process has been set up so that supposedly the reason is to protect the victims but I just don't think it's possible to allow accusations to be completely anonymous and release no details at all to the community or even to the accused.
