From everything that was communicated back then, those warnings and chances to respond had been given and lead to no insight or change on the receiving end. While I do appreciate The Council following up on this, consistent communication matters. The way it appears now from this e-mail and Aoife's, all that matters currently is: - "lack of defined process" - "eager to put this behind us" - "This statement is intended to give closure to this issue" Case closed for formal reasons and unwillingness to deal with the past, on all sides! This lack of transparancy and consistency is - frankly speaking - unsatisfying and makes me wonder whether that some reasoning would have been applied to everybody (and not just every's buddy). Yes, I'm being unfair, intentionally so, to make the point where that lack of transparancy leads us to: defnitely not to "closure" in a good sense.
