Jimmy, your ymail is still going into my gmail spam.
It's time you released that email Sarah reminded you about, above.
I agree with Oliver's characterisation of your tone in that email to Peter and James. I'm very disappointed to see Erik putting down Pete for exposing the gargoyle behind the mask, rather than nailing you for the insulting salvo you launched at James, in secret, where you thought no one would ever know; and suggesting we all just calm down and leave the resolution to the chair and a professional mediator. As if.
Per others above and me elsewhere, [1] please vacate the "founder's seat" now, and run for a community seat at the next community selection.

Indeed George I agree with everything you have said about the internal effects of lack of transparency and openness. Assuming I and other board members who continue to press for full openness about the James situation are eventually successful this will all become more clear.

I don't think you are lying or being deceptive, but it seems apparent in the various half-explanations that it did, to James, who either got
mangled
explanations and assumed worse or heard worse from someone incorrectly. Thence to mistrust.
Assuming nobody is evil or insane, we have clear evidence and now open admissions of communications breakdowns at several levels and confused, contradictory explanations about who thought what secrecy was required
and
why.
It seems like those fed upon each other into misunderstandings and mistrust.
Have you not considered that lack of transparency and openness would have the same internal effect as external?
