I've been on the receiving end of gatekeeping from the xen community, and both of these are clearly related to bataglia's actions.
Gatekeeping in xen community exists.
 
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.
A the time I was pretty much a beginner musician and eager to learn, and unfortunately was many times assaulted with walls of inscrutable jargon by people lacking the empathy to care if I know the words they are using or even actually answering my question. When asked for clarification I'd receive more of the same. Trying to check the meaning of the arcane words they were using on the wiki didn't help much because they were explained in terms of more jargon. Back then I lacked the knowledge to see that these people had mostly little to no skill or interest in making actual music. I wasted so much time on trying to understand and it took some time and experience in actual music making to see that all that was a best marginally useful for making music. Most of that talk was related to rtt.
I was alienated, hurt and wasted time because of bataglias 'work" or 'philoshophy'.
So, please tell me, how it's not poison?
