Jussi-ville is exactly right. Who will police the board? The board themselves? Riight. If the board were to become corrupted, there would be no check on them.

Hoi, I agree that it is no longer necessary or needed to learn why Danny left.
Comparisons are made between Erik taking his job and Danny running for the board. Anthere indicates that people would have been upset if Danny would have been denied a seat. My point is that the board has to weigh the potential negative result of an unwanted board member and the potential negative result of some people who will be upset when an unwanted person is voted to be on the board. It is for the board to decide this.
I do agree that things have shifted since the elections. New issues have arisen. Danny is doing good at Veropedia. Indeed there is enough that needs attention. As half a year has passed, I would no longer object to Danny standing.. It is indeed in many ways a different situation.
I am very sorry, but I really have to put the boot in here...

Really?
No fucking way, if I have any say on it.
(excuse my french)
If we want a board that is invulnerable to criticism, then maybe.
If we do want one, than I just lost track of who we are. Please show me the way to the nearest exit. Much obliged.
