As I have been involved in several incidents with Carol some yearsago, I should probably comment on this. For a while, I feltresponsible for all the bad things happening to Carol. I stillfeel sorry about what happened in 2003. But I cannot feelresponsible for what Carol has been doing since then (which is notvery different from what she did before anyway). Also, I usedto be upset whenever Carol was posting nasty comments on IRC or onthe GIMP mailing lists. I have learned to ignore the negativecomments and only pay attention to her useful contributions, butnewcomers and casual contributors do not have the opportunity toknow this in advance. It was a pleasure for me to meet Carol at LGM last year and discoverthat we can have friendly face-to-face conversations. This issomething that I appreciated very much. Unfortunately, this doesnot seem to be the case online: her negative messages or gibberishon IRC or by e-mail have discouraged more than one contributor. Sowhile I thank Carol for her contributions to the GIMP web site orfor her own web site and tutorials, I think that her behavior onlinehas brought more harm than good and has seriously hurt the project. I am not sure about the best way to handle this because I hateexcluding people, but preventing her from harrassing others on IRCand removing her op access would certainly be a good start. -Raphaël_______________________________________________Gimp-developer mailing listGimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
