Key Perl Core developer Sawyer X quits

Example of MST being told by Sawyer to leave him alone and MST not relenting.

Of course over the years he has done worse to others. Mainly new users, especially women.

I feel like this is a microcosm of tech and life in general. I always wonder how toxic people get so far, but then I see the path of destruction left in their wake, and I'm like, oh that's how. I think every job I've had has had at least 3 people of the toxic golden boy type in everyone company that people just deal with.

Wrong. In the thread you can clearly see who the problematic, toxic person was. Not just, but the one who gave up. He was also not a perl core developer. Just the community manager.
