Ken,

This was sad news indeed! I’m sorry, but respect your decision.
I had not much, if any at all, to contribute to the issue(s) of dispute. However, I found the personal attack on you from this individual utterly appalling.
I’m not aware of MacPorts have a Code of Conduct, a commonly used CoC in open source projects is [1]. Even if I have no formal say in the matter, I would support Ryan’s suggestion for permanent ban. Wouldn’t care less if this is would be a A. Einstein level genius.

Best,
Nicklas

Life is short, as we all know, and there are only so many hours in the day. I have resigned from the MacPorts’ committer team, and deleted all my MacPorts installations on older systems and all my VMs.
