He was carefully explaining, despite his resentfulness, why he got hurt by her statement, a statement that was presumably ironic in its intentions, but surely shouldn't have been posted to a diversity mailing list (btw. in a thread that Serge had started about neurodiversity, and where he had explained the sensibility of the argument). And what is their reply? An apology? No, they called him an "asshole", here, on the public diversity list where a code of conduct for OSM shall emerge. Even if you believed he was, how can you call for "respect for everybody" and in the same breath deny it to him?<br></div><div><br></div><div>cheers,<br></div><div>Martin<br></div></div>
