The Python Steering Council has decided to suspend a core Python developer for three months for alleged Code of Conduct violations.

Citing the recommendation of the Code of Conduct Working Group, Python developer Thomas Wouters revealed on behalf of the Steering Council that the unidentified developer was deemed to have repeatedly violated the Python Software Foundation (PSF) Code of Conduct.

The suspended developer is Tim Peters, who told The Register it was fine to name him but declined to comment – beyond observing that one of his objections to the governance process is the secrecy involved.

So is that how courts work for you? You are guilty because you are accused?

Lawyer: Your honor, the defendant is accused of having said despicable thing and showing repulsive behavior. I quote from a newspaper article that quotes from a group, that doesn't provide a source: [...]
Judge: The accusations are proof of wrong-doing and thus are sufficient to convict this criminal of being a "libertarian bro who only thinks of themself and tries to hide behind 'just focus on the code!', thinking it’ll excuse right-wing behavior".

That's not how it works. I doubt @savoy@lemmygrad.ml read the article. You just quote accusations and provide it "evidence", "proof" or as "support of who he was", and not a single link to any of such action displayed in the accusations.

The article describes exactly this fear of being sanctioned in secrecy without no links to evidence and you're doing exactly that, just like OP.

This isn't a court. That is how it worked.
