It's no big reveal that I was involved and optimistic about Nim for a long time, though "BDFL-in-2nd-command" is a stretch for someone who couldn't even get the community to instate a Code of Conduct. That's one of the many many reasons I left.

My many years of involvement with Nim is what I believe qualifies me to speak on the individuals in the forked project. That being said, I am no longer involved with Nim. I don't want to get reinvolved. I just want to warn people about individuals who were abusive to me (and others) for many years.

I banned very few people during my time in the Nim community, and never without good reason. I don't know who you could be referring to here. I'm sure you left this comment with the best of intentions, but you say it yourself, you were less active back then and have had minimal interactions with me on the subject.
