I don't believe Tomasz said anything about hanging them and hanging them high.
But if there are movementarians who hold this point of view, they should be able to speak up publicly and present that point of view.
I, for one, don't disagree with paid editing, so long as it is inline with expected community standards.
Having such a person within the chapters who does hold such views is a great thing (perhaps not the fuck the community part though), and they should be encouraged to come forward and make their views known.
Whether they are prepared for the tarring and feathering they will receive at the hands of dedicated movementarians is another matter entirely. Obviously it is an issue for some, otherwise Steffen wouldn't have blabbed about it to The Signpost. But no-one wants a repeat of the disgraceful public hanging that Fae suffered at their hands.
Cheers,
Russavia

Hoi, What is it that you intend to do. Hang them and, hang them high??
You already know that it was in a very emotional moment ...
What is your objective? What do you expect as a result and how will that be in everyone's benefit?? Thanks, Gerard

Thanks to Chris e-mail's, we now know that the comment was made during a public session (though I can't find the relevant section in the minutes
on
Meta).
That the identity of the person is currently unknown is due to the fact that it has not been revealed by other participants in that workshop; I'm sure Chris, and Steffen, and other people know very well who that person
is.
I'm used to the secrecy, but I find it deeply disturbing that such a comment could have been made during a public workshop "in passing"; however, it would fit perfectly in the alleged divisions between some chapters and their respective communities.
Where the idea that a single entity (here: a chapter) knows better what's best for a community than the community does itself come from, I'm not
sure.
