I thought he was just trying to allude to the word slut without actually saying it. They were talking about a package being banned because it was a wordplay on a slur and another package and I guess the name of the package was 'SLUT' and the other package was 'LUT' (pylut?).
> One of the very few split decisions I recall from my Board days would fall under the “CoC” label today. It was about kicking a package off of PyPI, because its docs repeatedly used a word that Dan Akroyd used to apply to Jane Curtin (brilliant comic actors from America’s “Saturday Night Live” TV show, but back in the days when it was genuinely funny :wink:).
> It won’t surprise anyone that I was one of only two who voted to leave the (seemingly dead anyway) package alone. The other has also been active in this thread, but I don’t want to name them lest they get even more death threats than usual :wink:
Also, if this was the statement from Tim Peters that the python statement:
> Using potentially offensive language or slurs, in one case even calling an SNL skit from the 1970s using the same slur “genuinely funny”, which shows a lack of empathy towards other community members.
was referring to. Then it is a misrepresentation of what Tim said. Because Tim didn't say the skit using the slur was "genuinely funny". He said the show was "genuinely funny". However, there are a bunch of removed comments from Tim in the discussion so it could have been referring to a different message.
