"Mistakes were made", but we are still awesome, keep our numerous director titles and go on a YouTube PR tour. We have the bigger bullhorn and critics had better be aware of that.

This is an insulting post. They present lists questions and then proceed to answer none of them. It’s clear RubyCentral is not interested in clear and transparent operation and communication.

This is what I would expect from a corporation which is not really interested in answering any of the questions. I'd expect better from Ruby central and similar ecosystem governance orgs. They made sure to ignore the most direct questions about what has happened, continue to do so and keep losing any trust I had in them so far.
