Re: [board-discuss] Plone site & grief
Hi Andi, *, I think this might be a good occasion to ask our CoC volunteers for help (in Cc) - some sort of moderation is perhaps possible? My offer to get on the phone still stands; but it seems (from the below) I'm also party to the problems, so perhaps best if taken to a more neutral ground (CoC committee).

The member communicated in public about the work I had done for about seven years, without take in account to discuss the situation or requests with me first (and get some additional information). This make it explicit for me, that I shouldn't be part of the discussion and it descredits my previous work publicly (thus pilloring). I see this as a line of communication infringements. Because of a mistake that I did with the administration of the Content Management System in 2012 I was pointed regularly onto this mistake for about three or four years. I felt impeached to communicate destructively some month ago, although I spent a lot of my spare time over the years to attend events on behalf of TDF/LibreOffice to spread the word about the project and its pros. After some rethinking I had the impression it helped, if I narrowed my engagement to the administration of the extensions and templates website. But then I got this thread on the design list. Thus I was disenchanted, that my work inside the project had a real value especially for the board. There were no real excuse for this communication style later. The response to my email three weeks after the thread included second part (the 'but message'), which were the real message (no real apologize, but another threat).
