I think we're mixing up a few things by now: - What cases should be handled in public, which shouldn't - Does DevRel work effectively or not - The special case of banning people All I want to say right here is that: - Not everything needs to be handle loudly and public (if I made that impression) - I do believe in need for fundamental changes on DevRel (as introduced in a another thread earlier) For the rest I propose to take this offline.
