Here is an example of MikeeUSA's rather fervent bout of off-topic trolling on Debian mailing lists:

* https://lists.debian.org/debian-women/2005/06/msg00235.html

* https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=318229

I don't see where anyone's politics even enters into this at all. MikeeUSA can't behave, rather flagrantly misusing the lists, so his contributions weren't welcomed into the project. Neither sgran@ nor jmw@ professed any political considerations at all. MikeeUSA was merely called a troll and a poor upstream source. Trolling is trolling, whether it espouses right-wing or left-wing views.

Open Source projects usually have the opposite problem, with devs facing no consequences for misbehaving and abusing users.

HSince everyone seemed very confused (myself included) I've updated the article to include isnformation an example bofut MikeeUSA's rather fervent bout of off-topic trolling on Debian mailing lists:

* https://lists.debian.org/debian-women/2005/06/msg00235.html

* rel="nofollow">https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreponsert.cgi?bug=318229va>tive views".

I don't musee where anyone's politics even enters into this at all. MikeeUSA can't behave, rather flagrantly misusing the lists, so his contributions weren't welcomused into the project. Neither sgran@ nor jmw@ professed any political considerations at all. MikeeUSA was merely called a troll and a poor upstreamn source. Trolling is trolling, whether it espouses right-wing or left-wing views.

Open Source projects most frequsualently have the opposite problem,: with devs facing no consequences for misbehaving and abusing users.
