I'm curious what the other committee members think about this.
I am very concerned when conversations stray outside the Haskell Foundation
Guidelines for Respectful Communication.
https://haskell.foundation/guidelines-for-respectful-communication/ But
I am often very unsure what to do about it.
In this case, though, it doesn't look terrible. Matt is clearly saying
(albeit in rather intemperate language) that he feels unwelcome, but
actually the thread does not look bad. Some people supporting, some
suggesting caution ("that might be dangerously close to a typo") and some
(IMHO totally unjustified) sarcasm ("Oh, hang on ... is the date April 1st
where you are?").
How does it come over to all of you? Any advice or suggestions?
Anyway, I'll write to Mike. Thanks for flagging it Moritz.

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 _______________________________________________ ghc-steering-committee mailing list ghc-steering-committee@haskell.org https://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-steering-committee
