I disagree.  The accusations of mob attacks etc. (in the glibc
community) are still there and you haven't clarified or retracted those
statements of yours yet.  Also, "selective application of the
non-unanimity motto", "absolute power for a few leaders", etc., just to
give key phrases made by you.

I respect that that's your understanding of what happens, but I disagree
with this description, and it does not characterize the root cause.

For example, it's true that I will respond to statements by you about
"mob attacks", and I will not let them go uncommented.  Your statement
is not related to the original question that started the discussion, and
neither is my response.  However, my response is not the problem --
making accusations of "mob attacks" is the underlying problem.

I will also speak up when I see statements that I believe are toxic for
the glibc community.
