I'm not switching off my relay, primarily because I'm lazy and can't be arsed to figure out what all the politics bullshit is about.

Some project member did some shit and other project members are mad at them. Other people may or may not be righteously mad at the first people for reasons I haven't bothered to learn.

I started my relay so oppressed people in third world countries could communicate with the outside world and each other in relative safety. If that objective is still being achieved by the software, I could give a shit what beefs the coders have with each other.

Of course, perhaps they all are.

Any organization would do the same with similar allegations.  If he was
exonerated, he could rejoin afterwards.

Evidence?

Overdramatic.  Where's the blood?  Who was behind the coup, and what
hard evidence do you have?  Are you looking for #torstrike to prompt
leaks of such info?

Makes more sense for the Board to be distinct from the day to day
operations people anyway.

Perhaps it never could be.  Are you ready to run one?

Fork it.
