I thought Ruby Central were/had put this stuff behind them. why are they still threatening to sue Andre Arko, and reporting him to the fbi?! When I saw the postmortem or whatever it was called from schneems (and when I heard/saw he was involved and what he was doing) I really thought things were moving in the right direction.

They aren't "threatening" to sue Andre. They threatened to sue him in October and haven't retracted it. He also threatened to sue them by raising issues about Bundler trademark. A very common thing that happens in settlement of legal issues and even potential legal issues is: "you drop your claims and I'll drop mine". He's shaming them for not backing down while he simultaneously will not back down. His framing is di…

>He's shaming them for not backing down while he simultaneously will not back down. His framing is disingenuous

The post is very clear about what settlement he wants. He's not accepting their terms, and shaming them in the post, because they're not willing to make an apology.

You could say that is unreasonable or immature, but whatever. He clearly doesn't feel compelled to settle for less.

Regarding the lawsuit threats, there is a big difference between the two sides. There's is clearly baseless, where his is clearly justified. His trademark suit seems to be the biggest thing they are worried about.

Most recently he compared Roma people to wolves that should be exterminated, a post so openly racist that an LLM refused to translate it.

He said the Roma should be deported not exterminated?

> When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them.

Did he have a second article that I missed where he said they should be killed? I don't like the guy and think there are plenty of things you could criticize him for, but it seems like you are just lying about what he said.

> Unlike many community non-profits (including the Python Software Foundation), Ruby Central does not hold elections for their board of directors. The PSF is a hellhole where everyone tries to cancel each other. People like David Mertz and Steve Holden [1] who supported other cancellations were cancelled themselves. And of course Tim Peters for opposing other cancellations . You are only secure in the corporate inner…

Still, as far as communities go, Python’s is surprisingly drama-free considering the current size of the ecosystem.

It doesn’t come close to Ruby and Rust.

Holy shit. More civilised societies would consider writing this a hate crime.

Healthy societies would agree. Infantile societies that would condemn this are doomed to only go down to lowest what they tolerate (guys who defecate in bushes)

Also, how is speech/writing a hate crime? It is an opinion, and even if i disagree i would want for all to have option to express themselves without it being a crime, as it's not a crime, it's an idea which you can think and disagree

When an opinion states clearly that your people are to be treated like wolves, that should be treated as a pest, maybe you’ll see it differently. I hope you never experience that first hand, and I’m disappointed so many Europeans are so willing to fall for the same discourse that led us to WWII.
