   @kissane 100% of them turned out to be abusers and harassers who didn't want the scrutiny, I'm sure.

     Considering how extremely mainstream and normal codes of conduct are now—for both live events and online groups—it's super interesting to me to look back at how fiercely some relatively loud voices in many parts of tech resisted them, often insisting they would make [abuse/ harassment/ whatever] worse and inevitably result in lawsuits and bankruptcies.

     Like, I'm not going to name names, but I wonder sometimes if those people came around or are still enraged, just silently.
