Xonotic removes "team members" (developer) for insulting people.

><divVerent> Well... strong words are not disallowed, but using strong words to insult others (players or developers alike) falls under invective.
><divVerent> Like, you can call a core gameplay mechanic of first person shooters "shitscan" all you like, that's allowed.
><divVerent> But the moment you attack the people, a line has been crossed.

This is what you get for contributing code etc to opensource: Judged and "sanctioned". You're seen as no-better than a non-contributor/player.

divVerent supports sawing off the dicks of kids
"if a doctor approves"
><divVerent> if a doctor diagnoses a condition that can be helped by SRS, and "whoever is legally responsible" (depending on age and jurisdiction, parent and/or child) consents
><divVerent> there's no problem
><mini> wasnt that famous kid jazz reassigned as a kid?
><divVerent> that's just HIS JOB

This person used to be Forest Hale. Works at Google now. Joined Google before Rudolf Polzer did. Probably got him in.
