  • I understand time is needed for a proper review as well as needing additional time to accommodate for the fact that it’s all run by volunteers.

    However, most of us simply want transparency. There has been no formal announcement thread on this to my knowledge, just replies to the threads that get started about it.

    If you’re investigating, announce what, why, and how far along. Give us details as to what’s going on and the options that are on the table. It doesn’t have to be a meticulous blow-by-blow, but the transparency so far is on the other end of the extreme. Maybe if y’all were trying to move against him before he knew what was happening I could see it, but there’s no way he doesn’t know what’s going down at this point.






  • It does show he is not going to learn from or sincerely apologize for his transphobic statement

    Furthermore, I think it’s perfectly fine to bring up such a problematic statement from a person, no matter how old it is, for as long as it’s still relevant. Just because he isn’t making statements publicly doesn’t mean he doesn’t still believe these things, or takes actions (e.g. voting) that supports these statements.

    If he had retracted his statements, gave a sincere apology and made some effort to educate himself then it would be different. Then I’d be right along with you in stating that it should just be allowed to rest.

    But given that Nutomic has clearly demonstrated that he hasn’t done any of that in the time since his original statement, then it’s fair game to keep such things about his character in the public mind
