The unelected mods who resigned were refusing accountability being enforced by the elected steering committee, which tells you what you need to know about how the mods ran things.

Good riddance, and easily enough replaced.





It kind of doesn't tell us what we need (or want) to know. Or at least, its not clear to me what conclusion is right from that.

On its face, none of these players have accountability. With enough noise individuals could be pressured out from either group. And if either group makes wrong choices, the penalty is just removal.

It's messy; I don't see any obvious answers or conclusions.


Yep that would be my conclusion too, we still need to hear the other side of the history
