You seem to have a very biased perception of what happened.
I've written explicitly in my last post during that discussion that I
wouldn't be engaging any further, because someone started using a slur
that I'm all too used to hearing right before people start verbally
abusing me.
The maintainers then made a point of removing me from the trusted
member list. Clearly, this was meant as punishment, not deterrence,
since I already said I wouldn't be engaging further.
Which raises the question: punishment for what? Given that I remained
polite throughout the whole ordeal, the only explanations I see are:
1. They wanted to appease people's hostility towards me, which I would
consider bullying / giving in to bullies.
Or:
2. They decided that the project would take a stance on the conflicts
between feminists and the transgender movement, banning people who
fall on the wrong side.
I'm not sure which it was, but both are equally foolish.
