i agree, and i don't see how that conflicts with my ideas of telling people to use the block feature unless the blocking doesn't work for some fringe reason usually attributed to abuse of service. tell people to block, first. if that DOESN'T work, call a moderator. simple as.

Overt offenses are generally easy to call out. But I think dismissive and negative commentary should also not be addressed (probably not by banning, but by bringing it up in a private conversation in the individual).

with smaller infractions, someone is going to be less likely to say, "hey this per needs to be banned". But I could see, "hey this person is exhibiting unproductive behavior, and it's taking away from my desire to contribute to nix"

what's the deal, is he just brusque like torvalds and it gets people's dander up? honestly don't know anything about his character.

Not everyone values minimal responses. Him being short, was perceived as rude: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/120729#discussion_r621617554

a) You're lacking context. Sandro has previously been petty and rude when reviewing PRs I've made. Please don't jump in and assume things. While I have him blocked, GitHub doesn't actually do anything other than show this to him, filter notification e-mails to me, and hide random pieces of the UI. Since Sandro hasn't taken the hint by now that maybe it's impolite to continue harassing someone who has asked them to stop doing so, I think actually giving him a response at all is being more courteous than is necessary.
