Gautam, I can't speak for Kristin, but I certainly wouldn't want you to
leave the list. As Charlie put it a few days ago:

What more can I say? The man was right...

Gautam, Kristin, everybody, calm down. This echo chamber nonsense and
throwing around accusations is not going to get us anywhere. It will only
lead to harsher words, people leaving the list, and eventually to this
wonderful community falling apart. I can't believe anyone here would want
that to happen. So, calm down, take a deep breath, go for a walk or
something, then come back and do your best to turn this community back into
the great place it used to be.

And remember to say to yourself ocassionally: IAAMOAC.
