I didn't want to bother, but rereading riba's arrogance and deceit  
combined with your past actions make me angry enough to bother.

He'll probably enjoy that i write this, but well, if he does, he's free to  
enjoy it while he can.

Meanwhile i think it's only fair that his userbase knows what his  
principles really *mean*.

The following did not have him act in an RT queue, but since his actions  
were in direct response and aimed towards affecting a ticket i filed, it  
is fair to bring up.

He did abuse me on IRC with the goal to get me to give up on the ticket.

He plainly said this to me and tried to justify it as being his duty as an  
engineer.

I did indeed give up on a ticket despite still considering it valid and in  
need of action due to him.

I had forgotten about it for months and not done anything about it at all.  
A reasonable person should think that would be enough for him to cross it  
off as done and leave things be.

However for some insane reason he thought it was appropiate to approach me  
again, a YEAR after i had originally filed the ticket, and tell me these  
things:

[...]
16-01-08 at 23:11:43 (ribasushi) I re-read the log in p5p several times in  
the past week
[...]
16-01-08 at 23:12:21 (ribasushi) if you agree for me to publish it unmodified  
(at most with slight reorder to compensate for IRC lag)
16-01-08 at 23:12:33 (ribasushi) I will publicly own to say in no uncertain  
terms that I went *EASY* on you
16-01-08 at 23:12:35 (ribasushi) and that I regret it
16-01-08 at 23:13:09 (Mithaldu) regret going easy, or having done it in the  
first place instead of looking at it on technical merits?
16-01-08 at 23:13:22 (ribasushi) I looked at the technical merits
16-01-08 at 23:13:25 (Mithaldu) also, publish whatever you liked
16-01-08 at 23:13:33 (ribasushi) and I didn't shut it down quickly enough nor  
forcefully enough
16-01-08 at 23:13:39 (Mithaldu) jesus fuck
16-01-08 at 23:13:43 (ribasushi) I wasn't using "radical candor" correctly
16-01-08 at 23:13:46 (Mithaldu) you are an abbhorrent piece of shit
16-01-08 at 23:13:53 (ribasushi) and this is something I do regret

He might possibly argue that this was him being professional, delivering a  
final kick to the liver to ensure it sticks.

However in no possible conceivable way does this deserve ANY respite from  
receiving the label "abusive".

I am also not the only person to be treated like that. He said the  
following about his treatment of another developer in various venues,  
including a github queue:

15-05-11 at 14:00:22 (ribasushi) at this point it is *my engineering duty* to  
drive him away from perl

Again, he probably thinks it is professional to do that, but trying to  
claim here that it is not abuse is a lie, given he has stated outright  
that he was abusing said dev with that particular goal.
