A Brief Debrief
Putting a bow on a weird situation…
Hey all! In this just-shy-of-ten-minute video, I wanted to give a short debrief about what happened the other night (Note here) and express my motives, my gratitude to this community for always keeping it classy, and my desire to move forward.
Important Timestamps:
0:01 … Introduction: why I’m making this video.
1:55 … “I am not the Notes police”: my goals and motives on Notes
2:48 … Why this situation was different: authority, abusive language, speaking on behalf of the community, increasing severity
4:40 … Personal note: my individual interactions with this person were largely positive
5:08 … My genuine hope for this person: “I believe people can change if they really want to.”
5:59 … What I want you to know: “We care about each other here.”
6:38 … Keeping it classy: my gratitude to everyone’s responses in the replies
7:50 … Conclusion: let’s move on, better and stronger.
On a final note: this page is not going to “live” on my newsletter, and I am not sending it out to my subscriber list, because this whole situation was mostly limited to Notes.
Once the page/video has reached the folks it’s naturally going to reach through sharing and such, my hope is that it will fade away and we’ll continue on, leaving this behind us.
I appreciate you all.
