New page

I've been on the receiving end of gatekeeping from the xen community, and both of these are clearly related to bataglia's actions.

First, years ago, when I first got interested in xen, I found the wiki and all there was some basic information on some JI intervals and endless blocks of temperament info blocks without any explanation. From what I've learned later, it was bataglia and his pack unjustly appropriating the name xen to their recreational mathematics mostly unrelated to any sort of music application. Obviously I learned nothing and got chased away. That taint was there from the start and still soils the wiki. At the moment I fail to imagine what would be a worse beginning to the xen wiki. What they did was damage to the xem community and at the moment I don't see a reason to forgive them that.
That damage still lasts.

The second time was when I joined the XA discord server. I can only describe my experience as jargon hazing.
