I think Said and Duncan are clearly channeling this conflict, but the confict is not about them, and doesn’t originate with them. So by having them go away or stop channeling the conflict, you leave it unresolved and without its most accomplished voices, shattering the possibility of resolving it in the foreseeable future. The hush-hush strategy of dealing with troubling observations, fixing symptoms instead of researching the underlying issues, however onerous that is proving to be.
(This announcement is also rather hush-hush, it’s not a post and so I’ve only just discovered it, 5 days later. This leaves it with less scrutiny that I think transparency of such an important step requires.)
(Also, this announcement is also rather hush-hush, it’s not a post and so I’ve only just discovered it, 5 days later. This leaves it with less scrutiny that I think transparency of such an important step requires.)
It’s an update to me that you hadn’t seen it (I figured since you had replied to a bunch of other comments you were tracking the thread, and more generally figured that since there’s 360 comments on this thing it wasn’t suffering from lack-fo-scrutiny). But, plausible that we should pin it for a day when we make our next set of announcement comments (which are probably coming sometime this weekend, fwiw)
I meant this thread specifically, with the action announcement, not the post. The thread was started 4 days after the post, so everyone who wasn’t tracking the post had every opportunity to miss it. (It shouldn’t matter for the point about scrutiny that I in particular might’ve been expected to not miss it.)
