> [@tim.holy](#): > > This is more than a plea to stop: as a representative of the Julia Stewards, I’m asking everyone to tone it down, and @ScottPJones to specifically apologize for his statements here and in the thread on “postpone 1.0” that insinuate motive based on employment. That is a clear violation of our standards, as it constitutes a veiled threat (“I’ll report you to your granting agencies!”) as a means of trying to exert leverage over others. So none of the stewards are even going to say anything about the “ridiculous post”. Ok if that is the way it is going to be, you have lost me stewards, from now on Julia is just a tool for me, sadly I don’t want to be related to this community anymore, you have alienated me. Stewards you only represent yourselves and your pals, I respect your work, but I cannot respect you …so long and thanks for all the fish! PS: You have splendid community (double) standards, congratulations! 👋 **By the way It’s not about Kristofer comment, but about the double standards attitude some of the stewards and mods have shown, that I am upset.** --- _[View the full topic](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/problems-with-deprecations-of-islower-lowercase-isupper-uppercase/7797)._
