Sam was absolutely doing her best, and if her initial decisions with regard to me were perhaps arguably a trifle draconian, I'd note that "a moderator getting out over their skis due to an excess of righteous anger" is absolutely somebody I've been significantly more times than Sam has.
The only person standing behind said committer's racism was lizmat, who forced me to reverse the ban I laid for the original fucked up cpan upload and has been attacking me for thinking he was a problem since.
However, lizmat has now resigned from TPF; I hope she isn't as much of a problem to raku conduct enforcement going forwards as she's been elsewhere, but I have faith in the raku team's ability to manage that issue and don't intend to interfere with their doing so.
And she has terminated her relationship with the committer.
The toxic element to be "purged" from the Perl community, has now returned and will make the Perl community more to his image . Which will only get more people to leave the Perl community. But that is no different from the past 15 years that I have had the pleasure of dealing with this toxic element.
I am, however, very glad that the Raku CAT has since corrected your mistake.
I am very well aware that I can be an asshole sometimes, but unlike you I don't defend outright anti-black racism because, to quote Patrick, "I call my black friends that" and "it's just a word".
Your repeated opposition to code of conduct enforcement is unfortunate but now you've resigned I hope we'll be able to move forwards on that matter without your personal dislike of me interfering.
(I know that part of this comment is referring to events that took place years ago; I don't have any firsthand knowledge about those events but want to correct the record about the present)

I appreciate that she's revised her opinion on this specific case and apologise for not making clearer that she's done so - I only wish she'd be more supportive of code of conduct enforcement in other cases.
