Like everything in the ever-welcoming Linux uwuorld, Debian also has a code of conduct. Personal attacks seem to be against it, and Klode got /very/ attacked in this situation. I feel like he should either stop maintaining the Debian package or block White from contributing in some way. If they want to adhere to said code of conduct, of course... which was made -- first and foremostly -- for and by softies to avoid altercation.

  "(1) a weak or foolish person, (2) a softhearted or sentimental person" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/softie https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/softie (I don't like the word. Just answering the question without agreeing that anyone should be called a softie.)

> Debian also has a code of conduct. Personal attacks seem to be against it As I understand it, White is not a Debian contributor, and the discussions did not happen on a Debian mailing list. So I'm not sure what Debian's code of conduct has to do with anything?

> Users who need this crap can install the crappy version -- comment by Klode IMHO, calling software someone works hard to maintain "crappy" is a personal attack. So Klode isn't innocent with respect to the code of contact either.

Using this type of language is probably part of the reason the code of conduct exists. People that work for free on something don't deserve this. No one deserves this. I'm particularly angered by this type of thing because I deal with horrible colleagues all the time. I'm working on getting away from this situation but the job market is not easy to navigate right now. No one should have to feel like the work they do is negatively impacting their mental health because some random on the internet has forgotten they're talking to another human being.
