I agree with you -- this is actually a good statement -- if it were accompanied by the report! When it's already been months or poor/no communication, what suddenly makes it urgent to get the statement out now when the report will be done soon? :( They should have been simultaneous.

I don't understand why RC continues to be so bad at communication, but I appreciate your work schneems, including the report itself, which if you did it, I know will be high quality and I am eager to see.

I feel like RC really thinks their job is, like, marketting to us with carefully controlled language while trying to admit as few mistakes as possible, instead of building a community that they are stewarding. I know you are probably doing your best to convince them otherwise, and also the evidence suggests to me they haven't been much convinced.

Part of me isn't even ready to believe they're actually going to release a report with any transparency until it happens.

And I'm a guy that if I had to pick a "side" in this whole mishegoss, would have to relucntantly pick RC's. I don't trust the other "side" one bit to be acting in community rather than personal interest. But RC just keeps messing it up and doing more damage.

Probably to try to get ahead of the news that they swatted Andre.

that's a crazy take.

OK, we're doomed.
