Your sabotage started long before that point.  It started when the
steering committee tried to adopt rules of civil discourse for the
mailing lists that you didn't approve of, and so you not only used
your unofficial position on the steering committee mailing list to try
and obstruct the progress of those discussions, but you denied access
to the polling tools when the members moved for adoption of those
rules.

That was when people started to leave the steering committee, and the
10 you mention were half of the original steering committee and easily
2/3 of those who had ever posted even a single message to the steering
committee list, some 6 members never having joined in the steering
committee discussions.

Stop trying to rewrite history, Joop, the record doesn't bear out your
misinformation (I'll be nice and not call you a flat out liar this
time).
