Looks like they locked the thread and removed it from the homepage.

I understand they are set in their ways and aren't interested in changing the language in ways some people want, but removing any and all posts that criticize them feels more like censorship than anything.

A few months ago on r/elm I made a post about how Evan was killing the momentum of Elm by not communicating about Elm's timeline more clearly.

I was told, I was lucky not be be banned from the r/elm.

A month or so later someone else posted on r/elm referencing my prior post. So I replied back and said I was the OP and that I agreed with his view and how nothing has changed. That reply go me banned from /r/elm.

The elm forum has a very strict rules, almost dictatorial [1], Posters who demonstrate a Pattern of participation in Conflict may be banned from any Elm Forum....A Pattern may also arise within a single conversation.

Evan probably talks about you in the first minute of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGlzRt-FYto

The fact he thinks it's worth bringing these things up is very telling.

I would have ignored them for what they are and moved straight to talking about what success is.

The fact it got laughs is also very telling of the community.

A very interesting talk.

Also the frankly insane definition of Conflict as "something which isn't actually at all related to Conflict."

Under Supreme Leader Evan's rules, apparently talking about puppies would be "Conflict"

Oh my lord. Those Forum rules are hilarious.

Like its written by a cute 5 year that thinks they're being clever and nobody will know what they mean is that they will block, delete, and ban anyone ever voicing critical thoughts.

Like how do they ever think that language will improve?

Either say nice things or I ban you.

There is no appeals process.
