I had the following sitting in my drafts and, after seeing Mr DeVault's TU application withdrawal, regretted not having sent it. Edited to refer to the unfortunate conclusion. On Wed, Feb 27, 2019, 16:10 Darren Wu via aur-general < aur-general@archlinux.org> wrote:
Instead I'd like to ask this: if I'm to be damned by my past behaviors, is there a path to redemption?
As a complete newbie I might not have the rights to chime in here.
But isn't it never too late if Mr. DeVault may add an apologetic comment to @noobpurple under https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/1227 now?
This thread has started giving political correctness the bad name it deserves. Not so long ago another applicant had to go through a humiliating interrogation, strong words and insults included, and not many apologies were issued by his accusers; now some others are demanding (politically correctly, thankyouverymuch) from Drew DeVault to act as others before him haven't. Drew DeVault handled all that pressure with overly due composure and high professionalism, a strong token of his ethos, rarely found in some of his impeccable inquisitors, which obviously wasn't enough because they kept coming back for more. Even his sponsoring TUs had a hard time defending such an apparent felon. Next time, demand a copy of the applicant's juvenile criminal record, a signed forgiveness from the Vatican and a sworn statement of adherence to The Rules. Oh, and ten hand-written pages of "I shall be a good boy", because nobody wants to work with a degenerate like https://gfycat.com/ambitiousfluidkrill This whole "TU application" procedure has proven itself flawed because it allows anybody, in full impunity and immunity, to slander, bully and abuse applicants, to the point of making them regret they had applied in the first place.
