I saw this message yesterday, and left me thinking how nobody seems too
concerned with how Preining's actions have impacted and continue to
impact members of this project.
Not only he has sustained a campaign against me and other people, he
seems to enjoy "naming and shaming" me to the point where last week I
found myself with a (thankfully small) amount of hatemail in my inbox,
because my name was again in Slashdot's front page, thanks to an
"interview"[1] that "journalist" Sam Varghese did with him.
This is a very common tactic you see every day on Twitter and other
social media: publicly naming targets in a deniable way, so their
followers start a pile-on until the victim breaks. This is the kind of
tactics he is still using, and that the usual regressive crowd keep
defending in this thread.
These are the kind of things I viscerally reacted against a while ago.
Reactions that caused official bodies of the project to formally
reprimand me (just months after the same people had pushed me out of the
CT for being too radical or something).
It is funny (not) to see the person I called an asshole back then -for
stating publicly that he chooses to intentionally misgender transgender
people- is still having opinions in this thread. It is all very polite,
of course; after all, nobody really cares about the people who get hurt.
Debian keeps showing for anybody to see that as long as you keep your
tone down, you will be allowed to bully, harass, and generally make
others miserable; that nobody cares enough to stop it.
