I'm not going to legitimize your harassing by pretending this entire
thread didn't start and didn't just have the goal of delivering a
personal attack, and instead was really just meant to clear up some
questions you've had that the minutes didn't answer. Because it really
isn't.

For anyone else who's honestly interested in what the board has been
discussing around coc enforcement, what we've done already, what's
still planned, and where we're still discussing what's the best
option, I'm obviously happy to elaborate. I'll definitely bring this
up plenty at the XDC hallway track.

Thanks, Daniel
