Note: "calls into question" means there is an unresolved question.  You may
believe there is no question, but the consensus of PAUSE administrators is
that there is.  This is true by construction.  As soon as we wonder what
the right outcome is, the question has been called.

Specifically, we didn't think this situation was clear cut for *either*
side, which is why we wanted discussion among affected parties to inform
the outcome rather than deciding peremptorily in favor of either party in
the dispute.

Speaking personally, I read that entire exchange in the context of your
post about leaving CPAN entirely and thus about *all* your modules, not
DBIC specifically.  Again, speaking personally, I consider kicking out all
co-maintainers a form of "carnage".  So I don't see in that exchange any
sort of prior approval for the course of action you appear to have intended.

I think it's unfortunate that you didn't feel you could be more open about
your intentions earlier as much misunderstanding would have been avoided.

That sounds like a threat.  Is that what you intended?
