Tony Morris

1/5 I think now is probably the first good test of the new moderation scheme. I want Tony as a moderator because of his immense knowledge base and dedication to helping people learn. I have seen it for years, and I have only known him to fly off the handle in cases where people https://twitter.com/joshlemer/status/1087110732376956929 …

2/5 are arguing in bad faith, starting fights, or being disingenuous. Unfortunately, Josh's post reminds me of a broader problem in Scala, which is reflected in the highlighted exchange. Tony denigrates Josh's skill, and his intelligence, but Josh denies Tony his -humanity-.

3/5 This reflects strongly in Scala's history, in which the response to Tony has been to attempt to attack his lively hood, trying to get him fired, attacks on his legacy, in attempts to steal his code, and attacks on his character. Understandably, he has feelings.
