    it seems he had banned a user for account names that were inappropriate and is being accused of being transphobic as a result.

    i didn’t see any evidence in the screen shots posted that shows he did anything harmful. just a lot of accusations.

      Thanks.

      Transphobic is not nice, but there’s too much trolling online to indulge blatantly offensive/sexual usernames on an open source project.

      You can be trans without creating a hostile work environment.
