There's no reason for you to assume such ill will around here.  A much
simpler explanation of what happened is that you were listened to and
heard, and we simply disagreed with your arguments, due to differences
in experience and perspective.

If there are indeed such people, I encourage them to come here and
speak up for themselves.  Given the history of this thread, I'm not at
all sure we should hear their concerns through intermediaries.
Changes in leadership are a good time to try to make our procedures
and conduct better, so now is a good time for them to speak up.
