My own special brand of miscommunication was also involved. I happen
to be sensitive to the perception that I yield any authority that I
might have (as an RMT member, as a committer, whatever) in a way that
is arbitrary or unfair. And so I wrote way too much about why that
wasn't actually the case here. I now realize that that wasn't really
relevant.

Indeed. That might well have happened if we had been set up for it already.

I think that there was a snowballing effect here. We both made
mistakes that compounded. I apologize for my role in this whole mess.
