I wasn't thrilled with Steve's message; I sent him what I hope are some constructive comments privately. Bringing up nazis is rarely going to calm things down or promote constructive discussion. And yes, he did that.
But Adrian! You really doubled down on the tension. I appreciate that you are frustrated and disagree strongly with some of what Steve is saying. I hear that you would like to have a discussion on how our diversity statement interacts with organizations people affiliatef with. Doubling down on the nazi thing isn't going to give us a constructive or healthy discussion. There are ways to have the discussion you are looking for that will be more constructive and that will not promote quite so much of aflame war. It sounds like you aren't feeling heard. The particular example you picked is only likely to escalate things so that none of us are hearing each other. Please let us find a way to step back, listen to your concerns, but also respect the other people involved.
