This has been covered at great length already. See my blog for all that will likely ever become known. Yes, Guido’s post was hidden, but is no longer hidden.
Skipping the repetition: it’s my ban announcement, with a list of 10 claimed “CoC violations”. They didn’t all stem from the bylaws topic, but since no links were given it takes a lot of guessing to imagine what some of the posts they had in mind may have been.
No. To date, nobody anywhere (not on Discourse, not on various blogs, not in “news” articles, not on various tech-gossip sites’ comment sections) has been able to find a “smoking gun” to justify any of them[1]. At least not that I’ve seen, and I dare say I’ve paid more attention to this than anyone ;-).
Chris McDonough made his best guesses about what they may have been talking about on his blog (linked to from Ethan Furman’s dissenting reply in my ban announcement). Much later, over time, I eventually wrote up my own best guesses in a variety of places, all linked to from this page in my blog.
I also note in my “Ban Q&A” page that I was never asked (by the PSF) to agree that I was guilty of any of those specific charges, or even to acknowledge they had any merit.
If anyone does want to post evidence, I’d love to see it, but this is the wrong topic for it. I posted a request for that here instead.
That was 18 days ago. Still not a peep.
in cases where which message(s) is(are) clear, the problem is instead that nobody agrees with how the CoC WG reads it - in some cases clearly misreading the plain meaning of plain English ↩︎
