Daniel, to request re-instatement, please follow the process outlined
in the original code-of-conduct suspension notice you received. A
public post is not necessary.
Personally, I feel offended by your choice of words
A suspension of a blog may itself be a violation of the Code of Conduct

I never received one complaint about my blog from anybody in the Fedora
world. Several people noticed when it disappeared though.
The blog post in question discussed a conflict of interest between the
leaders of two free software organizations, the Debian Project Leader
and the OSI board president. As I interacted with both of them
personally, I felt that I was qualified to share my observations.
That topic itself was forced into the public because one of the people
party to the conflict of interest had spread gossip about me and the
other used her speech at an event for humiliating volunteers.
It feels like Codes of Conduct apply to some people and not others. As
George Orwell puts it, /All animals are equal but some animals are more
equal than others/.
Have you seen Gnome's CoC? It literally allows racism. There was a bit
of an uproar about it, and Gnome foundation/developers members refused
to change it.
(Gnome and Fedora are very incestous projects, so yes, it is relevant)
Now that communism is the cool, hip ideology in town, Gnome/Fedora are
embracing it. Book burning is the next step, but one might argue the
deletion of discussion threads and blogs already *is* that step.
Fedora's Code of Conduct[1] asks people to be excellent to each other.
When talking about governance issues, being excellent to other
volunteers means telling them the truth about leadership problems in the
free software world.
Being excellent to leaders who behave badly means keeping a focus on the
issues. For example, when blogging about two people with a romantic
conflict of interest, I would never speculate about their first date and
other personal details, I would only focus on the way their decision
making was impaired.
Even this week there are people writing public comments alleging I had a
conflict of interest, but that is false. I named Chris Lamb and Molly
de Blanc because their conflict of interest was at the root of certain
problems. At least one member of Debian's mentoring team also had a
conflict of interest with an intern. I didn't identify them out of
concerns for student privacy. Nonetheless, when people spread gossip,
leadership figures have a responsibility to stop it, but they didn't,
they added fuel to the fire and they continue to do so even now.
If the leaders of organizations can behave like that, why should the
Code of Conduct deny a volunteer a right of reply?
Silly Daniel, you aren't supposed to question the supreme leaders. You
have to fall in line and never question anything.
If you need help understanding, I recommend reading up on what's going
on in China right now. Concentration camps, book burning, police
brutality, people vanishing, etc...
Regards,
Daniel
