Fine, and I'd agree with you.

I read that thread, and as I commented on private@, I thought that it could
have been handled better.

Then you need to re-read them.  Did you miss the several points where I said
that if someone isn't participating in a given project then unless they have
one of a few issues of substance they should either actively become part of
the community or butt out?

And did you miss my request to the Board for their input on the issue of
whether or not the PMC has to vote on new Committers?  Claiming that I'm not
listening or open is, frankly, insulting.

That is not the message that we get from most participants, but if that is
the case, then let's fix it.

Such as?  Let's be concrete and constructive, identify the specific problems
and address them.
