Charles,

I don't believe anything I said was inaccurate and yes I did use profanity
but as its been explained to me profanity in and of itself is not a
violation of the Code of Conduct. That said this remark was made on a
third-party site not subject to the Ubuntu Code of Conduct but that values
freedom of expression and does not prohibit such vernacular.

I would appreciate Charles if you adverted more attention to the decline in
participation identified as a problem here:

Notably several former governance members have said on social media in a
nutshell that they stopped participating because of the issues I raised.

Fanboys are the most dangerous thing in open source in fact I've been
harassed by, insulted and threatened by Ubuntu Members.

Most recently insulted on a mailing list by a community council member but
of course the CC had no issue with that and no reply asking that person to
be mindful of the CoC was sent:

This pretty much amounts to you asking the Kubuntu Counsel to ask me to
self censor.

I'll just leave these right here:

Seriously take a clue the CC is supposed to lead and advocate for community
and has not done that on this issue. You censored us and demotivated
hundreds of contributors and other orgs and projects have realized this.

Are you going to strip my status next and make me more of an outcast than I
already feel like for standing up for what is right? For things you should
be standing up for?

Its sad when I can honestly say no other open source project or project
governance would engage in such a campaign of censorship.
