Arko explained why he changed the password; I agree that he should have communicated the change. Now, does that justify the hostile takeover of the projects? C'mon... folks, there was a hostile takeover of two projects. Will we, as a community, ignore that?

I don't understand how Matz accepted this as-is. Taking over these projects without addressing the takeover makes them toxic assets that will taint the Ruby community for a long, long time.

Look. I brought up Arko's credibility. I didn't bring up the Ruby Central folks credibility. That's a separate thread -- there's literally like 500 other threads to discuss that topic.

What you're doing is called a Whataboutism. I was responding to a comment about gem.coop.

Andre Arko is not credible and thus gem.coop is not credible. He can explain all he wants but his actions were plainly inexcusable. Whatever Ruby Central did is immaterial to the point of whether or not Andre Arko can be involved with services that we rely on.
