Hi Ty. Thank you for this. When we're passionate about something, it's easy
to get frustrated and upset, and easy for that to get out of hand. It's much
harder to step back and consider, and I appreciate you doing so!
Thanks for your passion, and let's continue to figure out how to solve these
often frustrating challenges together.
I would love to, but while you may claim to wish it, some within Fedora
and Gnome do not. They instead choose to be unproductive, narcissistic
grifters & crying wolves who belittle innocent independent niche
software developers and large companies that cannot or will not comply
with their ideology.
The behavior by some on this list is very reminiscent of people on
social media that falsely accuse others of sexual misconduct and later
attempt to ruin their lives just because they have a vendetta. They do
not care about the actual issue itself, whatever that may be, but rather
they pretend to in order to increase their own power and influence. For
projects(Gnome & Fedora) to have such people part of them, it is very
frightening but, based on the Code of Conduct that each project has, not
entirely unexpected.
I'd ask that, unless Fedora is honestly interested in resolving such
issues such as Gradle or my own project, that you never offer it. I know
this was probably said in order to come off as nice, but whether it was
meant to or not, it is in part a lie.
Anyway, I didn't mean to start all of it again. Hopefully it can be
ended here.
