Harassment is not to be tolerated. But there's a difference between enforcing that and blacklisting an entire organization. That message implies sexist and racist comments, but it also says some of it was "'90s hacker humor". And some of the complainers quit in 2004 and 2010, so it's not all recent. I'm not indifferent to actual problems, i.e. real harassment, but most times things are blown out of proportion. But I'm not personally involved (and shouldn't be). I just don't want anyone to overreact without full facts. Let them have their day in court, so to speak, let's not punish them ourselves. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
