I remember Franz. He had concerns that were rather incoherent and accusative. I ended a lengthy comment of mine with “This is not a serious discussion, and I regret initially giving it the benefit of doubt.”
Amazing. Even six months later, after an utterly failed campaign for the board and even suspension, he still manages to take up our time.
I have several things to say, but I’ve said them all before in one form or another. Let me just reiterate that I appreciate the work that the moderation team and the CoC WG do. After reading through yet another lengthy thread of re-litigation on already-decided matters, I can see why other tech communities take a blind eye on actual enforcement. It certainly spares them from all this. But the efforts of the members (who are real people who you can actually meet and talk to in their limited time) that make up the mod & CoC groups are no small part of what make the Python community so special.
