As I'm sure many people in the Haskell community have seen, Simon PJ
|
|
put out
|
|
[an email entitled "Respect"](https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2016-September/024995.html). If
|
|
you haven't read it yet, I think you should. As is usually the case,
|
|
Simon shows by example what we should strive for.
|
|
|
|
I put out a
|
|
[Tweet](https://twitter.com/snoyberg/status/780255158898921473)
|
|
referring to
|
|
[a Gist](https://gist.github.com/snoyberg/1f70ed1754cac2e5f1f1bd268c2b279c)
|
|
I wrote two weeks back. At the time, I did not put the content on this
|
|
blog, as I didn't want to make a bad situation worse. However,
|
|
especially given Simon's comments, now seems like a good time to put
|
|
out this message in the same medium (this blog) that the original
|
|
inflammatory messaging came out in:
|
|
|
|
> A few weeks back I wrote a blog post (and a second clarifying post)
|
|
> on what I called the Evil Cabal. There is no sense in repeating the
|
|
> content here, or even referencing it. The title is the main point.
|
|
>
|
|
> It was a mistake, and an offensive one, to use insulting terms like
|
|
> evil in that blog post. What I said is true: I have taken to using
|
|
> that term when discussing privately some of the situation that has
|
|
> occured. I now see that that was the original problem: while the
|
|
> term started as a joke and a pun, it set up a bad precedent for
|
|
> conversation. I should not have used it privately, and definitely
|
|
> should not have publicized it.
|
|
>
|
|
> To those active members in projects I maligned, I apologize. I
|
|
> should not have brought the discourse to that level.
