This type of stuff happens in all communities it just depends on whether they talk about it or sweep it under the rug. I'm interested in talking about it because at the very least he could have been a little remorseful.
Sadly here more gets swept under the rug than there should be and it leads to a false view of what this community is like. It's great and has its perks but it's also got it's deep seated issues too. I haven't heard of one community anarchist or otherwise where that isn't the case at least on some level.
Maybe more people need to learn that being honest is better than being polite:

Most people, including myself, find brutal honestly hard to practice. it's worth the trouble though.
Tactful honesty would be ideal (not that I claim any personal skill in this area).
