> […] just for having a different point of view was the right thing to do by the Zig leadership team

From reading these threads it’s less about the opinions you hold and more about how you behaved, no?

Zig leadership asked you to not place bug bounties on issues without their consent. You decided to ignore their request and kept the bounty up by moving it to your own repo. Zig leadership decided you weren’t engaging in a particularly constructive way and decided you were unwelcome.

Is not a bug bounty and the bounty was placed for a feature we needed at Wasmer, it was not required to be merged upstream in Zig so of course we kept the sponsorship for the work up

WASIX relies on way too many forked projects to be maintainable. It's part of the reason that I resigned after only a couple months working for you - what you're trying to do isn't a terrible idea, but it is super poorly executed.

The other part is exactly what yoshuaw described as very disrespectful and immature behavior on your part. I know from my interactions with you that you are extremely argumentative _to a fault_, don't take no for an answer, and always assume you know better than everyone around you. Maybe you're somehow proud of that, but it's not surprising to hear you've been banned from participating in the Zig community.

You should respect the Zig community's wishes and be willing to contract the work out with clear terms, taking on some of the risk that it takes longer than expected yourself.
