I mean fair enough. Who wants to see slurs. I personally agree with @bradpwyble in a side-thread that there is also a very disappointing negative side to the same issue too.

Also to be clear: I am sorry because I must have made that slur appear on people's TLs by RTing and interacting with the discussion around it. I hate that slur (& all slurs ofc) — it's weaponised against so many people including some of the absolutely most vulnerable in society.

But I did it because I think it's important to show this to those who behave as if such things don't happen, which is the point made here too:https://twitter.com/priyasilverst/status/1148982397624553472 …

This is honestly a good point that I had not thought that much about, and in this context I tend to agree with you. Although many of us are well aware, raising awareness is necessary.

1. I think many of us are aware but many also aren’t which is an argument against the need for the kind of discussion we ran anyway; 2. Re putting the slur on people’s timelines I’m really sorry and will be more careful next time; 1/

3. Re not speaking up for years, I use twitter a lot more than I used to and can honestly say if I’d come across something like this I always would’ve said something, it’s just a lot harder to miss a tweet when people alert you because the original one was about your discussion

Yeah, I mean please let's not forget that this was a verbal "argument"/abuse against Priya herself as well as others. She's a student who organised a workshop on diversity and a guy tweeted she's a you-know-what for doing that. Many in her position would feel very unsafe.

Importantly, it's a person that many in openscience seem to respect and work with and who might have been at SIPS, etc.

Apologies for jumping in, but this is the key question for me: did he attend SIPS? If so, presumably this breaks their COC and he should be banned from future meetings. Also, if he has prior track record, why hasn't this occurred earlier?

Tangent but I just thought of a way conferences on Twitter can help their attendees avoid banned people: they can make and share a conference blocklist of people who have violated the CoC. Attendees can use it during the conference to avoid such people.https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/advanced-twitter-block-options …
