it was frustrating. It was infuriatingly limiting.
E.g. any comment Denny made on Phabricator now being read in the light that he was a board member.
I've found this frustrating myself, at times. For example, I've avoided commenting in my volunteer capacity on VisualEditor and Flow related-threads because of how it may be perceived to have staff commenting on such topics, in spite of the fact that I have never worked on VisualEditor or Flow in my time at the Wikimedia Foundation.
I don't know what the best course of action to resolve these issues is, but I am interested in such discussions.
Thanks, Dan
