Oh, quique.goni@scanoss.com exists. HM. I wonder if maybe you might have some bias in this?

What CoC did we violate, by the way? You're the ones who came into my repo with a bot and used a bot to tell me not to swear. Which, again, is a violation of GH TOS.

I have not falsified information, impersonated anyone, or extorted anyone. If I have, I welcome you to show it. Make a blog post, post it here, whatever.

Hell, sue me. I've emailed you guys with my personal email a few times and offered to call on Zoom or with phone.

As for "or their guardians" I'm an adult, though given you're pretending not be associated with your employer I'm questioning if anyone at ScanOSS is.

I do actually see the reason. Not sure if you've had real human interactions before, but I'm pretty sure that forcing behaviours on people are usually not going to give you a good result (unless it's a "the writer's barely disguised fetish" situation), I've read what the comments of the repository said and found no evidence of extortion, impersonation or anything. Also, not sure why did you immediately assume the users could be minors?. By the way I'm not judging you, just my personal opinions of what the fudge is happening (else you would need to also censor me if i said fuck instead of fudge, this ain't the TVGuardian your parent might have used when you were little).

What the actual fuck.

If someone is doing ACTUAL crimes like that you report them to the real authorities. And not open a GitHub Issue.

But we know they’re not actually doing those things are anything like it. They have four letter words in their code and you’re insane.

You just opened this account, either fake or you’re an actual SCANOSS employee, to try to damage control against your boss’s goofy scanner that embarrassed him.

quiquetdl There’s no point in trying to challenge those who think that knowing how to use ChatGPT makes them programmers, and that using Google and social media makes them feel like Columbo. (If you had to Google who Columbo is, you’re probably one of them.) I’ve been a lawyer for 30 years and have spent the last 20 years leading an OSPO in an organization with 210 employees. I believe SCANOSS may have made a minor mistake with its automated reporting, which could potentially go against GitHub’s rules. While the goal of the 'experiment' is completely valid, the method may not be. However, under no circumstances does this justify filling a collaborative repository (with no relevant connection) with insults and excessive aggression.

> Quique Goñi: I’m joining this discussion because within my organization, we use the purl2cpe repository daily. To leave a comment, you need to create an account, as I just did. The account creation process is far too simple and lacks proper authentication measures, meaning anyone could easily impersonate someone else."

It's SCANOSS's fork.

> which could potentially go against GitHub’s rules

Not potentially, it does.

> we use the purl2cpe repository daily

Great, but not this fork. This fork is from SCANOSS, and I chose a repo which hard cursing (albeit due a dependency) to make my point of their hypocrisy.

> challenge those who think that knowing how to use ChatGPT makes them programmers

You really ought to look at who has commented in that thread, from well known cryptographers to other business owners. Attacking the people, rather than discussing the topic at hand, won't get us anywhere. I have not once accused SCANOSS of being bad programmers, bad at their job, etc. because, frankly, they're probably not. It's, seemingly, a successful business with reasonable development procedures. It's just that it seems they're in desperate need of ethics and PR knowledge.

> meaning anyone could easily impersonate someone else.

Interesting, from another account made just now, to be the only other defending SCANOSS. I don't think anybody impersonated Quique, because unlike SCANOSS, nobody - that I've talked to at least - is coming from a place of malice. We simply want an apology and acknowledgment wrong was done.

Honestly, this entire comment was confusing, and written in a style that makes me suspect of it's legitimacy, as ironic as that is.

Sorry to inform you that you did comments on the original repo > Interesting, from another account made just now, to be the only other defending SCANOSS. I don't think anybody impersonated Quique, because unlike SCANOSS, nobody - that I've talked to at least - is coming from a place of malice. We simply want an apology and acknowledgment wrong was done. Please, read carefully. I said that I have created the account few minutes ago just to reply. If you are trying to say that I am a SCANOSS employee, no, I am not and I am not interested in (and I do not need it). As far as I know, Quique is very popular nickname in spanish/portiguese speaking countries and tdl is the short subfix for Trusted Digital Life. I invite you read on books (real ones, not google) > Honestly, this entire comment was confusing, and written in a style that makes me suspect of it's legitimacy, as ironic as that is. You are free to suspect whatever you want. You're free to do as you wish, as long as your actions towards society are guided by respect and proper conduct. You will not find other defending SCANOSS because SCANOSS does not need it. SCANOSS customers and collaborators are not interested on this kids play (I am mom and have two kids, that is why I wrote here ;-))
