Hi all, After being notified about this whole mess yesterday evening, I’ve now spent quite a bit of time to catch up on the whole thread.
The purpose of this mailing list is for users to help each other and discuss Qt related topics. The whole thread of postings leading to this is in that respect not something that I want to see on this mailing list. It’s unfortunately not the first time that Roland has been on a trolling mission. In this thread, he again has been adding tons of noise to this mailing list without adding value. As I see it, this is trolling and destroying the value of this list. The tone of the posts is divisive and aggressive, something that I don’t want to see in the Qt community. This means that a lot of the posts in this thread do violate our CoC, and Roland has been starting those violations and continuously adding fuel to the fire. I understand why Guiseppe has reacted strongly to those posts. As a project we have so far not defined sanctions when that CoC is being violated, as we (fortunately) didn’t really have the need for it so far. That puts sanctions at the discretion of the mailing list moderators or myself. We’ve unfortunately seen this before and I had complaints about his behaviour before. As such, Roland is banned from the mailing list until the end of May. If he decides to come back after that I do expect that his emails follow our CoC and stay on topic for this mailing list. Any further violations will lead to a permanent ban.

The challenge is the mix of valid and invalid items. It is easier to react to things that are clear violations to our CoC: http://quips-qt-io.herokuapp.com/quip-0012-Code-of-Conduct.html and nothing else. On the positive side, we have not had that much of these over the years. We have not been banning people regularly, so we also lack a bit of precedence with this. Technically it is a trivial thing to remove someone from a mailing list. The challenging part is to decide when it is time to do that.

On top, with his ramblings and often totally wrong assertions (the "April's fool link"-gate scandal has been absolutely hilarious, almost as the subsequent attempt to regain some credibility, yeah .. nice try) he has now managed to scare the hell out of me the next time I'll be tied to a medical device: the mere chance he may be behind it now makes me extremely nervous. Even if it's only a blood pressure monitor. Losing valuable people in the mailing list and, at some point, the mailing list at all is like throwing away a Ferrari because a pidgeon keeps shitting on it. I'd argue that getting rid of the pidgeon is a more sensible solution.
