FYI, from knowing your personally I'm pretty confident you are not
part of a conspiracy and you are just doing your best given the context,
and I appreciate all your work!

I'm a lot less happy about thinks that happen in other groups not
involving you directly, and I'm still pretty mad at how the games were
played there, and especially other actors the seem to be reading the
list here, and instead of taking part in the discussion are causing fuzz
in completely unrelated venues.
