You cant try to justify this behavior with defense when you say this things out of the blue.

Yeah sure. One of your project heads censors discussions on github, while your project claims to be open to public discussions. And this is not an isolated instance of this problem, you have hidden my own comments on github before. There is a serious problem in the administration, and it needs to be addressed publicly. But now I am the boogeyman because I said "fuck you and your admin abuses".

No one was talking directly to or about you here

You fail to provide important context here, namely: that I have been harassed by this person for the past two years. This had reached the extend where bystanders asked me why the project leadership is so angry at me. I still do not know why. Each time I spoke out about this person's behavior (in an calm and objective manner), I was ignored.

This project is stalled for a simple reason: a few people who stopped contributing to and playing this game are in charge. New contributors are antagonized, and mudslinging campaigns are used to silence them. If that does not work out, the admin abuses start. If someone has uttered a few swear words, this is being blown out of proportion, trying to influene the public discussion so as to present new contributors as the sole reaons for all the problems this project has.

It just occured to me that some readers might not have witnessed the events themselves. Some more context: on the same day I was banned from the Unvanquished project, another person was banned as well, for the heinous crime of calling Gireen an asshole. This other person used to be a member of Unvanquished development team, as I used to be. That is what I mean when I say the admin abuses have increased in frequency.

Of course, calling Gireen an asshole is a questionable wording. But considering how Gireen is engaging in censoring (calm and objective) discussions on github, I can see how someone might be carried away by swearing.

That you don't like a person doesn't exempt you from the channel rules.

Viech gave a pretty clear warning, but you and freem took it as an invite to still break the rules. So the only ones you can blame here are yourself.

Similar to the github comment. You can complain about the project in a separate issue instead of someone elses PR, and i asked you to do so there, but you still to this day didn't create one, so i have to believe that your only reason for that comment was trying to disrupt the PR.

If you feel that your only means of communication can happen by disrupting the work of others or must contain insults and harassment then you are the one censoring yourself.

Its hard to believe but if i would ignore any speed limits so many times the police would also censor my driving license. :bugeyes:

fear ma engrish :granger:

Are you talking about https://github.com/Unvanquished/Unvanquished/pull/3360?

Also, please notice that I do not require your permission to talk. Nor does anyone else.

Yeah. Didn't you mean that? Now that you mention it. You said "discussions". Are you talking about multiple things? What else did happen?

I think that's oblivious. So lets pretend for my analogy to work that everyone starts with a free driving license in my country.
Looking how some people drive this might even be really the case. :grin:
