<br></blockquote><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Peter, your choice of words like "forfeit" and "not the right person to captain this ship" and your request for PAUSE administrators to choose what happens next and "push the button" and so on indicate that you acknowledge you don't have the support you thought you did that would justify your claim of moral authority to enact your plan. Thus, through your own actions – not that of PAUSE administrators – the dispute is resolved.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">A resolution within the community – arrived at via discussion – is what the PAUSE administrators felt would be the best way to resolve this dispute. Because you initially refused to recognize the dispute, refused to discuss your plans with your fellow maintainers or community, and seemed resolute on acting in secret without consultation, we prohibited you from proceeding in such a unilateral fashion so as to force discussion to occur. We believe the subsequent discussion and resolution within the community rather than by external fiat is ample evidence of the wisdom of that approach.<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">David<br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>David Golden <<a href="mailto:xdg@xdg.me" target="_blank">xdg@xdg.me</a>> Twitter/IRC/GitHub: @xdg</div></div></div></div></div>
