To be clear, you do not believe that the Rust Leadership should make it clear how they came to this decision such that any speculation of other reasons can be put to bed?
The fact that it’s open to speculation is the exact reason they need to address it. Just ignoring it at this point doesn’t seem like a good idea, does it?
- DoneWithAllThat 3y agoYour “to be clear” bears no resemblance at all to what was written.

- DiggyJohnson 3y agoNo, I absolutely think they should make that clear. But among all the reasons they made this decision, however opaque things have been thus far, I think it’s wrong to speculate that the cause is racism.
- bluejekyll 3y agoWhat are you vehemently disagreeing with me about then?
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoThat race is a reasonable suspicion until barring further explanation/transparency. And additionally the “to be clear” refrain.
- stoniejohnson 3y agoIt might not be reasonable, but it is likely.
- adamrezich 3y agowhy? upon what basis could you possibly make this claim?
- stoniejohnson 3y agoHumans engage in tribalism and racism regularly. Thus someone might assume something of that sort is at play here, though it might be an unreasonable assumption for reasons x, y, and z.

- stoniejohnson 3y agoSee my response to Tremon but resorting to an ad hominem based on an (incorrect) assumption of how I judged the situation is both rude and a waste of time.
- adamrezich 3y agoit's not an ad hom—it's shameful to truly believe that all or even just most "racist" people actively take action upon their racism, given any opportunity to do so, even when it's completely obvious that said racism-based action could be obviously traced back to the person in a position of organizational leadership such that they could take said action, and that such a person is even remotely likely to exist at the top of the Rust Foundation, and that they're just so gosh-darned racist that they impulsively act upon their racism at every possible opportunity, even in blatant defiance of basic corporate self-preservation instincts, such that there's any mere semblance of a shred of a possibility that this action was "because racism." shamefully delusional, there's no way around it.
