You're not following the chain of events. Even if tomaw vs Andrew was the only issue and no one else was involved, by April 23rd Libera Chat was already in motion. Andrew had done nothing to the rest of staff until then, so what comes? You can't say "on April 30th he requested them to revert the post, therefore his intentions were clear for staff to create Libera on April 23rd." And in fact, the only reason he did is because tomaw still had him locked out and people had already started talk of abandoning freenode, giving him the impression of the coup, even though there wasn't one.
> Andrew was acting unilaterally against everyone
When? After everyone resigned means nothing to the discussion at hand which is finding causality. That's not how time works.
> one person did this. not they. a single person. and Andrew then acted against every man woman & child on freenode in response.
Acted how? What did he do?
> absurd poppycock
Yes, and I said so: Andrew mistakenly sees this as a coup. We know that wasn't some conspiracy, that's very clear. But it wasn't to him: tomaw requested a domain transfer, locked him out of account by mistake, threatened half of staff would leave freenode when asked for access back, other staff posted about reorganization, talked about creating a new network... WE know there wasn't a coup. He didn't.
You say I am looking for evidence I care about, but all you care about happened after all the relevant events. Useless.
- rektide 5y agoYou are in complete denial. A wide body of people were concerned that Freenode wasn't going to be able to self rule. The whole community are stakeholders here. Indeed an authoritarian monarch swooped in with his coup and has said you all can have whatever rule you want as long as I approve. A self regulating community has been converted to a monarchy by this anti-open quisling. There is no recovery, no stepping back from these facts. No order of events matter. The actual facts of what happened whenever and however they did happen are the worst case nightmare for the community & there is no way that with him as leader the site can retain it's legitimacy ever.
