I've tried formulating decent responses to this email, but this email has become more counter-productive than it has any ability to trigger meaningful discussion.
One of the most important qualities that a project leader has is that they have the support of those that they work with, and actively solicit advice that they provide. Unfortunately, this email has solidified my belief that you have failed in this regard. Your attacks on multiple members of the association as well as accusations of manipulation and deceptive tactics leave me with a sour taste in my mouth. I protest. If you try to impede the progress to beta by attempting a rename, I will fork.
