Liz, as the person who forced me to reverse Patrick Spek's original ban for uploading a perl6-n_gg_r directory to cpan, I don't feel your opinion on my "toxicity" is necessarily universal.

I am, however, very glad that the Raku CAT has since corrected your mistake.

I am very well aware that I can be an asshole sometimes, but unlike you I don't defend outright anti-black racism because, to quote Patrick, "I call my black friends that" and "it's just a word".

Your repeated opposition to code of conduct enforcement is unfortunate but now you've resigned I hope we'll be able to move forwards on that matter without your personal dislike of me interfering.




A correction: Liz has been entirely supportive the Raku Steering Council's efforts to establish our Code of Conduct[0] and to enforce that Code.

(I know that part of this comment is referring to events that took place years ago; I don't have any firsthand knowledge about those events but want to correct the record about the present)

This is not the only instance of Liz opposing conduct enforcement, but I don't feel like tracking even more drama in onto the carpet in that regard.

I appreciate that she's revised her opinion on this specific case and apologise for not making clearer that she's done so - I only wish she'd be more supportive of code of conduct enforcement in other cases.
