Gotta love how clattner shuts down the thread. He's a nice guy but he does have a strong authoritarian side that gets triggered by the typical SJW causes (even in small talk about silly things).

To the downvoters: I'm a liberal speaking from years of working with him in meat space. You may not like what I said but it's accurate.

  Lattner's message, in its entirety, was: This list is for technical compiler and tools discussions, lets not turn a thread about Rafael’s personal decision into a rant about CoC’s which we have been through before. If you’d like to have a productive discussion about CoC topics, then please start a new thread and use a respectful and productive tone. If you're being downvoted for a tendentious characterization of the thread, it looks justified.

    > ...a rant about CoC’s which we have been through before. I mean, seems like Dr. Lattner (with all due respect) wants to suppress discussion of the CoC, despite the fact that discussion of the CoC is warranted and apparently crucial to retaining talent. The CoC has a direct effect on this very mailing list, so it seems like it would be up for discussion there, if anywhere.

      He explicitly--quoted right there in the comment you're responding to--invited a thread dedicated to discussion of the CoC. How from that do you infer that he's trying to suppress discussion of the topic?

Is this the email in question? http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/122934.html http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-May/122934.htm... Are you saying this is authoritarian and indicative of his being triggered, or are you saying that this sort of fits in with a mental model of him you've developed based on other experiences?
