https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295014 --- Comment #8 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> --- des@ conveniently omits the reasons for my August 2023 resignation. <https://cgit.freebsd.org/doc/commit/access?h=refs/internal/admin&id=3cf16c8526c8cd78418b956f4cec78aeed63af9f>. A ship sailed. >From my email to Glen, five days earlier: > … If I hand back my commit bit: can someone (maybe you) take it quickly, > discreetly and without question? … Discretion. I chose to not share the reasons with Glen. He refrained from asking questions, and was entirely respectful in all other ways at all other times. A true gentleman: Glen Barber. <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/17zzclc/comment/ka344au/>; (November 2023): > Colin, my thanks to you equal my thanks to Glen. > > My sole regret, in resigning my doc commit bit, was the knowledge that > doing so would make me less able to help, directly, with documentation; > not least, documentation relating to releases. > > This knowledge was certain, before I resigned. Another true gentleman: Colin Percival. In 2025, I wrote: > … The final src commit involved a white space; to keep things > light-hearted, on rare occasions I publicly joked that my resignation > revolved around a white space error; edacf4b4824a was not the centre > of the joke; the truth, which I'll not divulge, was not something to > joke about.

Enough said, I think. <https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=edacf4b4824a>; (2023) was my final commit: > UPDATING: fix a typo, adjust a white space des@ lost his licence to drive polite conversation in 2024, when he broke all six ground rules of the FreeBSD Community Code of Conduct <https://www.freebsd.org/internal/code-of-conduct/>. Less than gentlemanly; he should be grateful that people have not reported him to the FreeBSD Core Team <https://www.freebsd.org/administration/#t-core>, which is currently under-staffed and possibly over-worked – I recall a Team member mentioning that most of their time is spent on complaints about misconduct. Perhaps Core Team members are quietly grateful that such complaints are not more frequent. Despite repeated misconduct towards me, I have never made a complaint. Readers with excessive curiosity may: a) note that my name is absent from <https://freebsdfoundation.org/our-donors/donors/?donationType=individual&donationYear=2026>; b) wonder when the absence began c) wonder how many months passed between me discreetly ceasing to donate and eventually offering an explanation d) wonder which of the numerous button-pressing episodes drove me to break my silence e) wonder who, at the Foundation, gained the explanation. Here, @des wrote: > … You could also easily have submitted a patch … The ship that sailed, which historically offered patches in GitHub much more often than Phabricator, was very rudely torpedoed in February 2026. Readers with excessive curiosity may find this particular wreckage at the bottom of a deep ocean, in almost complete silence, saying as little as possible about various offences. Concerning the value of silence, <https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@grahamperrin/116127306722990113>; (February 2026) currently has no links out to reasons for the post. I used Mastodon to privately send messages ("… friendly and very gentle hint: …") to the first two people who starred the post. Bugzilla is certainly not the place to share details. @des wrote: > grow up. I'm old enough to know when things go way beyond the pale. At the age of 61, with two very recent PCIs under my belt: 1/ I believe that life is short 2/ the likelihood of me spilling the beans elsehwere (not in official Project spaces such as Bugzilla) is certainly increased whenever the wrong people choose to get their kicks from pressing my buttons. Enough said, I think. Do not poke the bear. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.home | help
