If you're going to keep saying that, at least spell it out. Did you mean: 1. No, no one at the Bytecode Alliance ever accused me of inappropriate behavior. 2.

If you're going to keep saying that, at least spell it out. Did you mean: 1. No, no one at the Bytecode Alliance ever accused me of inappropriate behavior. 2. Someone at the Bytecode Alliance accused me of inappropriate behavior, but that was a false allegation. Spell it out, because regardless of which, this definitely played a part in why Wasmer is not a part of the Alliance, and that is what people were wondering about. I'll do it from my end: yes, they were accused of it. Their answers are roundabout ways of never confirming it because they claim they were accused unfairly, and that's fine, if irrelevant to what ended up happening to the Wasmer-BA relationship.

Your throwaway account alleged something absolutely false without any proof (sexual harassment). Now the argument has shifted onto an accusation of inappropriate behavior (which actually doesn't even mean that there has been one). This are two very different things. Period. > I'll do it from my end: yes, they were accused of it Accused of sexual harassment by a member of the BA alliance? Never. This is absolutely false. If you have proof of that please share the information. I think any future readers will like reading about it But for the sake of discussion, let's play devils advocate. Even if such an accusation would exist (which in this case, it doesn't), it would not imply it's truthfulness. That's why it's super important to always put this matters into the hand of authorities so any bad behaviors (either sexual harassment or false accusations) are addressed with the full weight of the law.

  > Accused of sexual harassment by a member of the BA alliance? Never. This is absolutely false. Are you joking me? Inappropriate physical behavior IS sexual harassment. You're trying to twist words to deny something happened. At this point I lost complete faith in you and now assume your claims that it was a misunderstanding an outright fabrication. I'm ashamed I ever rooted for Wasmer and hoped this was indeed culture clash. At no point in this conversation was the truthfulness or the legality of whatever happened in question: the question was "why was wasmer rejected from the bytecode alliance," and a "false" allegation that you "touched someone in a prolonged and overly-familiar way that caused them discomfort according to them but wasn't sexual harassment according to you" is the answer. In fact, you're saying this never happened and that false accusations need to be addressed with the full weight of the law? I'll see you in court I guess?

    I'm sorry, but your narrative is beyond twisted. Greeting someone with two kisses (a typical way of greeting in Spain) in a public conference in front of many other people is not sexual harassment. In fact, I already suspect you know that since you also commented "For all we know, it could be a misunderstanding due to different cultures" in this same thread. In any case, if you really consider that sexual harassment I'd welcome you to report it to the authorities and see what they have to say about it. For any future readers, this is what this throwaway account is falsely reporting as sexual harassment: https://twitter.com/syrusakbary/status/1202362342555545600 https://twitter.com/syrusakbary/status/1202362342555545600 > In fact, report me to the authorities Sure thing, I'd love to. Would you be so kind to share your real information so I can do so?
