I think you’re attributing malice to something else. Bear with me while I point out these two things:

First, The tomatoes quote is a consequence of something he mentioned later:

I firmly believe that FOSS is literally for everyone.

And second, he goes on to write this:

It’s important to note that there are many people who disagree on topics like religion, economic systems, LGBT issues, geopolitics, and other. For whatever reasons they may, we still should not ostracize them as long as they can interact with the FOSS community in a respectful manner, without arguing about those issues in places not meant for such discussions.

Here’s what I think: The dude is dogmatically dense. Not a literal nazi or transphobe. His response about moderation is part of that. “Ugh, I just want to code, not to babysit. If no one is spewing hate in my turf, they are welcome.” And even though I don’t agree with his stance, I still think he has a point: extremes are bad. And if the far-right is bad (“you’re either with us or against us; death to you!”), the far-left is bad too (“you’re either with us or against us; cancelled!”)

I’ve been there. Even after explaining that I was a transgender rights ally and supporter, and asked a question about sports - a question, as in I was trying to get myself informed, this one mod lashed out at me as if I was the devil, simply because my views didn’t perfectly align with hers before getting answers. It really caught me off guard. And she wouldn’t budge. It’s either her view or “pure unadulterated transphobia,” which I found ridiculous. That’s extreme.

But I’m capable of trying to reach to a middleground, whereas Vaxry stays firm - and that’s fine. Don’t like it? Don’t participate in his community! But don’t demonize him for some imaginary intentions you’re placing on him.

Aw, man. I think Vaxry’s got entrapped here.

He is saying that if nothing can sway you from an opinion, then it is a belief, including being 100% opposed to genocide.

(Please note: I don’t side with genocide!!! But I understand his point. Read on.)

I think he’s the positions armchair arguing type, not necessarily the evil type.

I can totally see him say “If a group of people’s solely reason to exist is to exterminate the rest of the human race, if that’s all they think about, if all they do is to accomplish that - induce terror, kill babies, spew propaganda, castrate humans of all races; then it’s safe to say that that group of people should not exist and it should be exterminated.”

That’s an extremely wild scenario, of course! But I think that’s what this guy is saying. We may find genocide in general heinous, but he won’t say that all genocides are bad because of thought examples like the above one.

Then the other party takes that personally, and extrapolates that Vaxry is in favor of exterminating all trans people - something he didn’t say or mean.

My two cents.

I don’t know, man. I read Vaxry’s response and I think that he has a point. There was an incident, and it was dealt with.

Then someone from redhat (because they e-mailed him with from RedHat address) told him “hey we saw improvements on you moderating your community. Great! But if you break our CoC again, we’ll ban you!” To which he replied “Uh, we don’t have a CoC, we don’t belong to your organization, what’s is this about?” And the person replied “This is not a RedHat position. And again, we’ll ban you!”

He explained this in a blogpost and posted the full e-mail conversation.

He also said that the misrepresentation got to such point that a another transgender coder made a contribution to Vaxry’s project, expecting that it would be rejected, and got surprised that her PR got merged.

It seems like the guy is being genuine here. Or was that pure PR?

adulting

God I hate that verb.

I wish this were true, but not really. I’ve seen 40+ year olds doing exactly this. Why, you may ask? They grew up with Nokia phones.

People, it’s not this black and white either.

If you think issues in a relationship can be solved with logic/rationality only… good luck!

Having said that. Yup, she’s got issues that go beyond “the usual.”

Edit: Downvoted by armchair relationship coaches.

It was a joke. It was a funny joke. She didn’t take it as such. Oh well.

I laughed out loud at your predicament!

You didn’t fuck up.

She fucked up.

Surely you could blame it on your mom. But it was not your mom, or you. It was her.

Ultimately it was her who decided to “honor” some stupid bullshit promise. She is an adult.

If the love of my life shows up, and her parents say “promise us you will never date her,” and she says “but I love you!” FUCK THE PARENTS. I’m marrying that woman. She didn’t say “fuck Cheradenine’s mom,” welp, that’s on her.

Plus you did the right thing with the drunken part. I’ve been in your position. I don’t take advantage of impaired people.

I hope you’re a happy individual nowadays.

Find proof and come back to us, then.

(I didn’t downvote you, by the way.)

Exactly! I have a friend who said a similar thing to his daughter, who came to him crying because her friends said she was not American enough because she wasn’t white. My friend said “you’re top of the class, excellent at sports, well spoken, well educated and very friendly and polite. They try to attack you for the sake of doing it, they try to find something bad about you, and they get nothing. So what do they resort to? Skin color!” (and yeah, I know this is about language, but it’s pretty much in line with your comment.)

What gets me is when they complain about Spanish, a European language. Where does English come from, you may ask? Oh right! Europe!

So they’re proud of speaking a language that’s not even 'Merican. Learn Navajo, Comanche, or any of the several native American languages, then we’ll talk.

Fucking GBoard, man!

Car making without the tracking bullshit!

Stop using windows

lol I’m sure OP meant mobile apps.

I hate windows, but c’mon. Stick to the main point.

It’s like saying “I prefer oranges over strawberries” and then in comes someone and says “Trump prefers mangoes. Fuck Trump!!!”

occasionally

I won’t say how, but YouTube has more than one video showing how it’s done

You just said how.

(And I’m kidding!!!)

you’re grasp of reality is slipping

your* grasp of reality is slipping

No one (except maybe intelligence agencies) breaks in to a house by picking a lock, especially in the US. Windows, weak door frames, and, in a pinch, making a hole in the wall are all faster ways of getting in.

It reminds me of a friend who visited me from Colombia (we grew up together down south.) We were walking around a neighborhood in Vermont. He said “I’d love it if we had houses like this one in Bogota. Why don’t we?!” And I replied “Because they’d be broken into in two seconds.”
