My main complaint is negligence, and pathological tolerance of toxic people (like Brent Dill). Specifically, I feel like it’s been known by leadership for years that our community has a psychosis problem, and that there has been no visible (to me) effort to really address this.
I sort of feel that if I knew more about things from your perspective, I would be hard-pressed to point out specific things you should have done better, or I would see how you were doing things to address this that I had missed. I nonetheless feel that it’s important for people like me to express grievances like this even after thinking about all the ways in which leadership is hard.
I appreciate you taking the time to engage with me here, I imagine this must be a pretty frustrating conversation for you in some ways. Thank you.

No, I mean, I do honestly appreciate you engaging, and my grudgingness is gone now that we aren’t putting the long-winded version under the post about pilot workshops (and I don’t mind if you later put some short comments there). Not frustrating. Thanks.
And please feel free to be as persistent or detailed or whatever as you have any inclination toward.
(To give a bit more context on why I appreciate it: my best guess is that old CFAR workshops did both a lot of good, and a significant amount of damage, by which I mostly don’t mean psychosis, I mostly mean smaller kinds of damage to peoples’ thinking habits or to ways the social fabric could’ve formed. A load-bearing piece of my hope of doing better this time is to try to have everything visible unless we have a good reason not to (a “good reason” like [personal privacy of a person who isn’t in power], hence why I’m not naming the specific people who had manic/psychotic episodes; not like [wanting CFAR not to look bad]), and to try to set up a context where people really do share concerns and thoughts. I’m not wholly sure how to do that, but I’m pretty sure you’re helping here.)

I’ll have more comments tomorrow or sometime.
