It is difficult to read these words and not agree with it. Many of you interpreted Richard's message as a personal attack on Doug and Patrick, but I fail to see that. The Board supposed to "provide guidance" which in this last incident it failed at doing so miserably well. In the conversation that triggered all this I called on the Board to make a stand on multiple occasions which still not happened. I called Simon's view the Board's view which Neal, and Gerald disagreed with, yet there is still no official stand on the matter from the Board, other than an awkward, long message from Simon which supposed to be an apology? Couldn't tell really... Anyhow, your choice for standing idly by, while a board member resigns, while the community fight over the CoC, the enforcement of it, and the standards of the project is a strange choice. Suggests that you either support what Simon was saying, or that you simply don't care. Speculation? Likely, how would I know if there is no communication ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Please wait for the minutes to come out. Everyone is going off the etherpad (which is a moment in time) and more noise is being poured on what is evolving to become a fragile situation. Simon expressed that additional points came to the boards attention after our meeting from the previous Monday. The board has additional actions, which have yet to be published. Please allow for the process to take its place. We will probably need to examine other processes as well. v/r Doug
