I sanctioned him for the original cpan upload.
Not because I necessarily thought he was racist himself (I knew basically nothing about the dude back in ... 2018? I think it was), but because his behaviour was bloody stupid and going to hurt people and cause problems down the line.
He was, unfortunately, unable to understand that my goal was to avoid the "bloody stupid" continuing rather than to accuse him of any particular bigotry, so he got lizmat to force me to revoke the sanctions.
He's now in a far worse position as a result, and the "problems down the line" have, indeed, happened.
Frankly, as a relatively young developer, full of testosterone and even shorter on wisdom than I am, he deserved better friends.
