Contributor that they are no longer welcome at Fedora related events,
projects, mailing lists, etc. it is no where the same as we putting
him on a firing line and shooting him.
In the context of the project, that's exactly what it is. ÂIt's being fired. ÂSure, you may keep in touch with some of your former coworkers outside of the office (note: this never happens), but in the context of the business, in the context of the company, you are dead, gone, you don't exist any longer.
Â
Putting it in such terms does
nothing to further the conversation and just sets people's opinions in
stone before a conversation can be started.
I have to disagree. ÂThe terminology certainly hasn't influenced my opinion one way or the other. ÂI'm with John, if someone is going to be ejected from the project entirely, the board should be the authority doing it. ÂIt's not something that should be delegated to others. ÂTo continue the "at the office" analogy above, managers don't delegate laying people off to their team leaders. ÂThey do it themselves. ÂAs it should be.
