I think the point being missed was that the domain, the mail list, -- in 
short, the internet-related content and capability of the project -- were 
taken away with no notice to most, if not all, of the subscribers to the list 
and participants in the project(s).  It's kind of hard to then have a 
multi-day, multi-way discussion on the list when there is no list, to come up 
with a kinder, gentler response.

The hard work of a lot of people had clearly become at risk and subject to the 
mood of one individual.  When that person was approached, the response was a 
refusal to relinquish this level of control.

Something had to be done, and it had to be done very quickly.  So something 
else was done.

Back to hardware/software/design.
