Thank you Frederico, I appreciate this. I have removed myself from the GIMP-user-list for now but am open to speaking with the maintainers of Gnu Image Manipulation Program, the CoC, and/or the board of directors if any or all of those groups wish.
My intention is not to cause trouble for anyone but to help make open source software more welcoming to, and safe for, everyone. My thanks to you, the other members of the CoC, and the Gnome Foundation board of Directors addressing this request.
