Dealing with abuse on the issue tracker
by Moritz Angermann 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

Dear Committee members, I'd like to bring the following tweet (thread) from Matt to your attention: https://x.com/mattoflambda/status/1815536812376707224 It concerns pull request: Allow reserved identifiers as fields in `OverloadedRecordDot` by parsonsmatt · Pull Request #668 · ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals (github.com) <https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/668>. We do not seem to be as welcoming as we could/should be? My stance in general around this is probably a bit old fashioned, and what I learned on IRC back then: not to fuel and engage with negative behavior. I'm curious what the other committee members think about this. Best, Moritz
