Previous moderation, as you named, was not based on a board decision but yours.

So, whenever someone says something you don't like the shut up process appears. 
And that's something the people who really care about LibreOffice as a project 
don't deserve.

Sad to say this as people like Emiliano and Paolo give their best, but for some 
time now I feel that this board does not represent me.

Off-topic character assassinations - do we really need moderation again? (was: [board-discuss] It's ENOUGH!: Continued Nuisance with private emails)

It is quite something to frame gentle suggestions to not personally
attack people, or to take certain parts of a discussion to the
internal members list - as threats. :(

But it fits nicely with the apparent character assassinations, that
seem to be going on again currently.

Alas, it is not something that we, as a community, should condone. I'd
therefore suggest to the board, to put this list, or certain
subscribers, under moderation again. Or maybe we can pull ourselves
together this time, please?

P.S.: Andreas' claim of non-consent to private messages is dangerous
  nonsense - both this list's netiquette, as well as mailing lists
  moderator practice, ask for exactly that. If someone does not
  consent to it, then please unsubscribe.

Cheers,

-- Thorsten

Believe me or not.  It's not the only thing Thorsten did that made me lose
my trust to him.

I stated zillions ago that I was one of the targets of such behaviour in 
previous term. And, indeed, it's fair intimidation.

Also don't think that is quite new and, related to that, what surprises me the 
most is that several boards has passed and no one raise his voice about that.

There are people who have my trust and full support, but Thorsten and Cor are 
not among them.

[board-discuss] It's ENOUGH!: Continued Nuisance with private emails

2022-11-29 Thread Andreas Mantke

Hi all,

I stated already twice on this list that I find this form of cautionary
private emails pestering and not appropriate for an open Free Software
project. I didn't published the name of the sender because I thought, he
got the message and would change his behavior. But my assumption proofed
wrong. I got bothered again with this sort of emails with strong advise,
what I hadn't to talk about. Thus I decided that I have no choice and
had to make the sender public now: it was always Thorsten Behrens.

He is continuing ignoring that he has no permission to sent me emails in
private. He loops in also other people into his agenda. At least TDF's
employees only have a Hobson's choice how to react to that.

I personal perceive the whole actions of the sender intrusive.This is
intimidating. But that is only my personal perception as person
concerned. But the intention seemed clear to me, that he wants to shut
me up.

I'm looking forward to work with the community on an improved
environment at TDF, where an open and critical discussion will not be
censored or blocked.

I do not want to be threatened anymore by a member of the board. And it
seems also others experience similar things, which is what today's
emails from Emiliano, who is the vice chairperson, and Daniel, who is a
member of the previous board, suggest.

Regards,
Andreas
