I asked people to leave because they were bringing the project into disrepute.

What causes that problem - whether it be bad luck in picking their
enemies in her case, or simply an unwillingness to leave an
unsatisfactory situation alone in the case of others, is pretty much
irrelevant, because as things stand now there is no solution. There is
no way we can make this problem get better by fighting it.

Yes, that sucks. No, I don't like it either.
