I don't even know what Lift is, let alone any of the people involved in this specific issue, but I have a hard time believing someone was banned "merely" for contributing a pull request. This is a silly submission designed to stir up more drama.
- cmelbye 13y agoNotice how the title of my submission says "from contributing", not "for contributing". Subtle difference, but has a completely different meaning.
- jfarmer 13y agoI'm sorry, those two phrases aren't meaningfully different to me. Regardless, this is trivial, gossipy drama and you're making HN worse by submitting it. Please stop.
- gtremper 13y agoThey mean very different things. "Banned for contributing" means that contributing was the reason for his ban. What he is banned from doing is unspecified. "Banned from contributing" means he did something bad and they won't let him contribute anymore because of it. What he did to get banned is unspecified.
- morganvachon 13y agoAs far as I know it's a personal gripe between the two people involved that goes back many years. Supposedly he wasn't banned for anything to do with coding, it was for harassing the maintainer. But that's all Internet gossip anyway, so who knows the real reasons behind it. Regardless, it's a personal fight that probably doesn't belong on HN. Edit: Sorry jfarmer, I see you said pretty much the same thing regarding HN.
