From my experience in a few OSS community's, this would seem to be a fairly rare incident. Some developers can probably come over snobby or arrogant but to be abusive (thats what I gather has happened) is something I havnt seen before. If I ever acted in a way that hurt the Blender3D community, I would be kicked out before I did too much damage. Its most surprising this behavior has been this tolerated for so long. Since carol had the composure to be civil with people face-to-face makes me think that she does KNOW BETTER... and that her behavior is something she allows herself online where one can have less inhabitation's saying offensive stuff. Its not like you are being unreasonable, Sven has said he wanted the old Carol back and if one day Carol decides she is ready to come back into the community - She could could earn back some respect and contribute again. I have know people to go through mental illness and have sympathy for her if this is the case, but that dosnt mean you let her hurt a project thats important to many people and the linux community at large. PS. I dont know what homo-erotic means exactly but hey- Whatever helps coders, and is safer then rugby. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
