"Isn't it inappropriate for FDO conduct team members to communicate via their corporate email address?" Interesting question. The answer is that it's obviously fucking reasonable, they use it for all of their FDO-related work, it's listed as the official contact address for conduct-related matters, and what the hell are you on about 5 comments

@drewdevault It's amazing how suddenly some people can become interested in a company's internal policy on the use of corporate email addresses. I wonder how much time they spend thinking about other corporate email policies...

In case anyone is wondering why we're talking about the email address: it's a way of directing discussion away from the offender's behavior and towards the establishment responsible for enforcing standards of conduct. It is a political maneuver to resist this establishment and is part of a broader backlash against codes of conduct and their enforcement. Secondly, it is a form of harassment: it aims to create a narrative that invents reasons for the conduct officer to be fired.

Third, it's a socially acceptable reason to be outraged at a trans woman exerting her position of power to reprimand a cis man. Doesn't matter if the reprimand is justified, or if she earned that position of power, etc.

@drewdevault tbh, Drew, I think only you would think about something wild like this. We all know that there are a meme that became a conspiracy theory that Red Hat wants to control Linux, so using a Red Hats email just validates this theory that they are being "bullied by the big bad RH". It is extremely unlikely that the same argument would have been the same if the email was "suse.com". |

@drewdevault People will come up with all kinds of excuses and digressions so that they don't have to talk and think about the actual issue.
