I was curious enough about this to go (laboriously) type in link:

I haven’t read through it yet, but right now mostly I am just saddened that something like this got to such a ridiculous, extreme point such that a member who has provided so much time, energy, money, and engagement gets permanently expelled over what appears to be so little, i.e. a he-said-she-said-they-said, and where it is almost impossible to understand what the actual facts are, especially where the whole BoD (including, at the time, Tails) was involved. It just reeks.
In full disclosure, I didn’t vote for Tails; I like Tails a lot…they (is that right?) helped anyone that asked and gave [their?] time and money and energy as or more freely than anyone I can quickly think of at the moment. But their penchant for last-wording and beating a thread/discussion to death on TALK didn’t sit well with me, generally. (note: I didn’t vote for James P., either.)
But, still, volunteerism like this is the lifeblood of this organization and tossing it away like this is not good for it…just the opposite, in fact. Again, it is just really sad, and a total failure of excellence and leadership all around, that this is what it came to. I hope what’s left of the current BoD thinks through this one more time and decides to put a reasonable expiration date on Tails’ expulsion. I’d put an item in the BoD agenda for this very thing, but I can’t figure out how anymore…does anyone know when was the last time one of us sub-members was allowed to do this?
