Still, as can be seen in the logs posted on
https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=18926720&cid=61404806

It seems that the claims of the Freenode staff are firm and grounded.
The logs don't paint Mr. Lee in a good light.
How unfortunate.

I've been following this closely, read all the resignation letters,
never saw anything about his race, and plenty mentioned about his
donations. This article is pretty strawman. The point is, the main irc
net for open source software should be community owned and managed,
and him owning it is not that, regardless of his intentions. Further,
he was told that, and refused to hand it to a foundation, leading to
this. It's an asset to him, not a valued infrastructure that must be
protected.

That unfortunately seems to be the case.
I'm careful not to rush into conclusions in today's mob mentality, but
so far it seems the staff made the right choice.
