@MonicaCellio I saw your GoFundMe page. You say if it's possible, you want SE to settle with you. I have one request (if possible): please make sure the terms of the settlement (if any) are public, not "undisclosed".
@SonictheReinstateMonica-hog I'd encourage @MonicaCellio to get whatever is best for her, and would be happy to hear only that she's satisfied with the outcome.
@DeNovo Ideally, if I were in a similar situation, I'd want to litigate this case and try and get a ruling in my favor, so it can be used as a case precedent in later similar cases, and so that the defendant cannot deny wrongdoing. But that would be asking for too much, and contradictory to what she wants. At the very least, the terms of the settlement should be public.
@YetAnotherRandomUser this is the generic chat room for all discussions. But we have to keep those discussions civil. Yours was not civil, hence removed to other room. Nothing was deleted or flagged. So if you have something to discuss in a friendly and civil way, without throwing accusations or pointing fingers at people, go ahead.
A question I asked on SO in 2011 has just received an answer. It's the answerer's first post, although he's had an SO account for four years. This is kind of cool.
Oh, so that's what was up with those edits.... I don't think we need a request to shut down meta, so there's no need to revoke the ban either (and no-one can do that anyways)
calling it a ban is even a bit of a misnomer. Every time you post the system runs a check to decide if your allowed to post, based on past post's performance. If that check returns false, you can't post, except 1 question every 6 months
@SPArchaeologist-ę§ well I disagree. The recent films were OK. Not awesome, but still good. Like middle seasons of GoT. (not first three which were awesome)
This week we chat with guest Chloe Condon, a Cloud Advocate working on Microsoft Azure, and Iheanyi Ekechukwu, a senior developer at Github working on Github Actions. The pair, who had never met before, talked to us about about their favorite languages, getting retweeted by Smash Mouth, and what it’s like to be a software developer with ADHD.
Chloe Condon has a great post about how she created her medication reminder app and an official endorsement from Smash Mouth.
You can find some writing from Iheanyi Ekechukwu on our blog here and you can find his podcast here. …
@UnitatosaysReinstateMonica Yeah, it would only kill the buildings and the trees and Disney castles and that one portal we will use to save humanity in the future in case of a Bruce Willis and monkeys scenario
@UnitatosaysReinstateMonica I think MSE is the only meta that should talk about this drama (except for moderator resignation notices). It's about SE as a whole, not really about any single site.
@UnitatosaysReinstateMonica there was some hope two or three weeks ago. A smidgen. A tinge. A Opens thesaurus to find word for minuscule and/or infinitesimal. I'm one of the more optimist people but sorry it probably ain't happening.
What's worse is that the long overdue supposed apology now makes me skeptical a positive step from the company is not whitewashing something somewhere.
Yeah having a compartmentalized identity is very useful. Tech companies these days want us to link everything together (though to be fair, that's been the case for 15+ years).
- never admit fault - never let someone you wronged back in - never give your opponent ammunition by apologizing or giving reasons - never settle unless with a strict confidentiality clause
this legal playbook defintion makes me very very slightly feel sorry for them, they cannot do anything to satisfy the community without putting them under legal stress
filing and fighting a defamation lawsuit is very expensive (more expensive then what we can collectively pay for via crowdfunding, even) and not certain to be a winner, even with these facts+
