As the author conducted the research for this document, a small number of prior attempts by MAPLE and OAK trainees to address the attacks in roughly the way that this document does were surfaced. Most of these were published under real names. The author of this document had the opportunity to speak with the authors of some of these prior works. These prior authors were in many cases attacked by the people attacking MAPLE and OAK, and in many cases suffered serious professional and personal repercussions, including being cut off from friendship groups, banned from communities, dis-invited from conferences, and threatened with legal action.
Uhm, name three?
I mean, if there are people who already used their real names in writing, and were already “canceled”, what reason is there to be shy about linking their documents?
.
I find it plausible that there are people who attack MAPLE for the wrong reasons. Any organization of this type that interacts with many people probably has someone like that.
That is irrelevant for the question of whether there are meaningful objections against MAPLE.
