> Since Shawn has been a core team member due to the involvement into our operating system, we decided to remove him from our core team as well. I am but an ignorant bystander, but the way this is phrased, it sounds like a quorum of OPNsense leadership unilaterally closed ranks against someone who likely had significant emotional investment in the project, and did so specifically after determining that they had extracted the maximum value they could from them. As written, it sounds deeply unempathetic and, at least for me, actively fosters a desire to see the project burn, replacing the blossoming curiosity I had prior. Is this just badly worded?

From #OPNsense on freenode, after the forum post was posted this morning: <> fitch: But I really do hope the parting is on good terms with lattera <@fitch> no, we are cool. obviously it's not a short term decision that breaks everthing next week. For the rest of the year this doesn't change much <lattera> yeah, we're on good terms. I'm somewhat disappointed, but I understand <lattera> once opnsense switches to fbsd, I'll likely migrate to bare hbsd on my firewalls (fitch is Franco Fichtner. lattera is Shawn Webb.)

  Thank you, that seems reassuringly friendly in the presence of philosophical differences. It's heartening to hear.
