OK, if we start getting into conjecture in this thread I’ll have to close it too. And to be honest, it never makes me feel great to compare with other people, so let’s not worry about that at all either.
The reason I can be a little more open is that I’ve been here longer and I know the dance a little better. Plus, I’ve been doing community stuff for over a decade, so I know which wires are live and which are safe.
To continue with the transparency though, Community can get a bit of a shit gig sometimes. We have to be the community’s advocates, but also catch 100% of the fire from the community. And there’s limits to what we can affect as well. So trying to lay things at any one person’s feet is scapegoating.
Regardless, I’ll be making my presence here again for a while.
