Dear Ian Clarke, I would kindly ask you for some clarifications here.
(1) Florent Daigniere, a long standing contributor, said: > Bringing in "the board" in an argument of authority is an asshat > move: As you know, none of its members have had any active > involvement with the project nor its community for decades. In > fact, looking at the list of subscribers to @devl, I highly doubt > that any of them aside from you are on it; Prove me wrong, let > them manifest themselves and defend what, so far, can only be > seen as an unilateral move from you. To which your only reply was: > That's how non-profits work, their boards vote on important > decisions. And the hypothetical board members did in fact not manifest themselves. This seems like an admission that you unilaterally made this decision. And an additional proof is provided by the fact that the board members did indeed not manifest themselves. Can you thus please: A) Tell us whether it is true that you were the only board member involved in the decision. B) Tell us the names of the other board members and their mail addresses. (2) Your central argument in this thread seems to be that the change is for the next generation of people. Someone said you are born 1977. By your own logic in this thread, where you copiously informed the others that you think they should not speak for people whom they do not represent, you would not be entitled to represent the next generation: You are not a member of it, in fact you are multiple generations behind if you are born 1977. Thus, can you please tell us if it is true that you are born 1977? I send my kind regards, Russell Glenn
