Is it just me, or does
"These decisions took time to arrive at because - despite my role as the lead on the project - calls on this specific issue are not mine to make"
sound a hell of a lot like a diplomatic way of saying "I have been instructed to add spyware to audacity"?
How is the above entitled tone?
- TameAntelope 5y ago"The submission" I reference in my comment is the GitHub issue submitted to Hacker News that we are now commenting on, which is not the original comment, but a response to Audacity's moderation of its own repository.
- martimarkov 5y agoI mean it's in a response to the one I mentioned. This should not be seen and only considered in isolation. The backstory and events play a part. No self-respecting Open Source project should ban you for simply asking a question. I don't consider it entitlement to then go back and address the reaction specifically. At the very least both sides show emotions. One is hurt from the lack of openness, the other from being questioned at all.
- antisol 5y agoYou are exactly right. And you make the point so clearly and calmly. Thanks! :)
