I'm replying to the parts of this directed at me.

The last time you forwarded something here was Wednesday, which I note
is after the last time I saw you in person. I have not had any chance to
discuss anything with you in real time since then. As far as your
bafflement goes, 1) Neal did not misrepresent my stance, 2) my reply to
your private email to me yesterday makes that abundantly clear:

If you didn't understand part of it, I would have expected your next
private emails to me to ask me a question about it, but they didn't.

If I had a problem with Neal's representation of my opinion, I would
obviously have posted to the list about it. I'm not in the habit of
sending "Me too" emails, because I see them as a waste of everyone's
time.

Yes, it has, and I have better things to do than engage in this sort of
politics. Good luck to whichever one of y'all next tries to figure out
how to fix this team, because you'll need it.

I will be ignoring further messages (from anyone) about these issues and
whichever ones pop up in the future, because it is evident that my
involvement in all this has yet to help. I'll continue my various
responsibilities in this team, including list moderation, but am going
to be making every effort to stay out of the way of this team's drama,
because I am sick and tired of it. Attending meetings, going to events?
Yes. Getting involved when said meetings get dramatic? No. Reading the
next drama thread that pops up on here? Also no.

What's that quote? "I am because we are"? Well, right now I am very,
very tired of all this.
