15 Umm... and?

17 Where in policy does it say that someone *must* remove themselves from a
18 *conversation* where there *might* be a conflict of interest or bias?
19 See, I had assumed that we all were supposed to respect each other's
20 ability to look at the *facts* and *evidence* and make decisions based
21 on said facts and evidence. I mean, if we all stopped participating in
22 conversations where we had our own personal bias, there'd be no need for
23 this list, our IRC channels, or any shared communications medium. See,
24 it is *expected* that people are going to be biased. Everyone will have
25 their own bias. It is how people *act* that makes the difference. Of
26 course, I guess that only applies when it has nothing to do with me,
27 huh?

32 Like who, exactly? Can you even tell who is active in Developer
33 Relations? The Conflict Resolution team is *exactly* Christel, who is
34 pretty much AWOL (not that I blame her... :P) and Ferris.

39 So? You mean the fact that I've had numerous verifiable issues with
40 Developer Relations is somehow a matter of opinion that is being based
41 on bias? I guess the emails that I sent to Developer Relations about
42 issues that I was having *long before Chrissy ever became a developer*
43 are all a part of her "bias" towards me and completely fabricated? What
44 about the fact that several other members of Developer Relations have
45 been reviewing and agreeing with all of her determinations?
46
47 I find this whole thing humorous. None of you know a damn thing about
48 Chrissy and my relationship, yet you make your assumptions. Keep on
49 assuming. I really couldn't care less.
50
51 It's this exact form of double standard and using things only when they
52 fit what you want that keeps things from actually getting done,
53 especially when they're untrue or based on faulty assumptions. I guess
54 that's just business as usual around here, though.
