I haven't really followed the details. But if there is someone stirring up trouble, then that's what the new CoC is there to address.



This comment/thread made me curious, and Iā€™m sharing this here in case others are as well.

Apparently it was this Tweet that started the controversy, which is actually related to the CoC itself as well: https://twitter.com/_sagesharp_/status/1042769399596437504?s...


Thanks. I knew of Tso of course through his impressive work on the RNG and was vaguely aware of some scandal involving him. Under the CoC as I understand it personal attacks are forbidden and surely dredging up something from 2011 out-of-context counts as that.

Oh, and my use of "sharp" in my original comment was obv unintentional, how funny
