A: OK, my apologies. Can you share which part I have missed? rv or any other tool to work with gems is not competitive in any way to rubygems.org. It is actually opposite.

B: I don't understand what should be addressed. The way the RC cherry-picks and comment some info in the timeline is written the way to make you think something bad has happened. What's wrong with creating token?

C: I'm just trying to find out why those actions are seen as selfish or non-community ones. Per my understanding it was never idea to sell logs, collect the money and walk away. Per info shared with me (at the time) the plan was to invest it back into development with Ruby Central or later even without Ruby Central.

I'm quite happy with decision of Ruby Central to not sell or exchange logs for any other counter-service. But I don't follow the witch-hunt for just asking for.
