From the article - "[2021 update: I no longer contribute to Racket due to abuse & bullying by the project lead­er­ship. Everyone in the broader Racket commu­nity, however, has always been helpful and kind.]"


Let's not derail the discussion.

To be clear, the author still continues to use Racket. His statement is more about his contributions and evangelizing.


maybe the author was the bully? i don't see how it's helpful to perpetuate hearsay especially without any context.



He actually attributes malicious intent ("campaign") to this other person. Based on no evidence whatsoever, just feelings apparently. The apology was gracious, forthright, and entirely believable. The guy is uptight and blows up. Does that make him a "bully" who "campaigns" to harrass other people?


There is context, if you just open the article and see the link in the same sentence. But I guess is asking too much
