The Dereliction of Due Process in the Scala Community

Jon Pretty was cancelled in April 2021 by two ex-partners and 23 professionals from the Scala community over allegations which were shocking to the people who read them. The allegations, in two blog posts and an “Open Letter”, were not true.
These publications had a devastating effect on Jon, on his career, and on his personal life, which he wrote about last week - see https://pretty.direct/impact , and which he has barely started recovering from.
There was probably lasting damage done to the Scala Community too.

I don't think there's any question about the "probably" - I'm not that involved in the community but the subreddit makes it sound totally disharmonious.
