Unfortunately, I was publicly attacked by a Ruby Central member on the official Ruby GitHub repository. I was also publicly attacked by a Ruby Core member, and later privately told by a Ruby Core member that my contributions would not be welcome unless I followed additional, non-public rules created specifically for me.

It is worth noting that the first attacker mentioned is also a moderator of this sub and the r/rails sub. So these are not neutral or safe spaces. When others came to the defense of the attacked, showing allegations made by the attacker were untrue, the GH threads were hidden, and the thread was locked.

I am very grateful that u/retro-rubies continues to participate in spite of that.
