I've seen no evidence of anyone forcing you to continue your involvement against your will. To the extent you think "scuttling" prevents you from doing so, this is a constraint of your own devising, not something imposed externally and certainly not by the PAUSE administrators. You had numerous invitations and opportunities to engage constructively with interested parties about your retirement and succession – first with your co-maintainers and later with me as a representative of PAUSE administrators. You chose not to do so. Instead you chose to respond with hostility, disrespect, denial and deception. Despite your attitude, actions and repeated attempts to provoke, I feel I treated you with patience, respect and fairness. As you insisted, this issue has been discussed almost entirely in public. In hindsight, I think you were right: having this play out publicly takes away any mystery as to what happened or how decisions were made. Given that I, too, am "on the record" throughout, I have no qualms about how my words and actions reflect on me as a person or as a leader within the community.
