Neither this post, nor the linked decision by the TSC make it possible for me to judge if this reaction is appropriate.
Without details on how rvagg conducted himself, this could be anywhere from 'Social justice warriors biggest fuck up yet' to 'nepotism protects blatant asshole/racist/nazi/mysogonist'.
This is all due to the following reasoning:
[Note: the specific list of issues has been removed at the request of several core collaborators who felt that listing the issues was not fair to Rod. This post was made with an effort at full transparency and with no ill intent towards anyone. No additional harm was intended by listing the issues - jasnell]
Unless this was requested by Rod himself, this seems like needless censorship.
- drostie 9y agoIt's not needless censorship even though it might not have been requested by Rod himself. The question before the TSC is "hey should we take action against Rod for shit like this: ________" and necessarily that blank is filled by a lot of stuff which makes Rod look like he's not a community player. Meanwhile the members of the TSC are able to contextualize this -- they are able to say "Well I have worked with this guy on this and that, I have seen more comments than just these, and I get to make a holistic evaluation of what's going on here." Now if the original post goes public, it makes sense that the details be blanked as "not fair to Rod", since the rest of the world's eyes are going to look on just these things and might not have full context.
