I disagreed but didn’t downvote. I mostly just found the word “leader” to be extremely strong. It might be the case that this is true in the SF scene (but I wouldn’t know given I have no exposure to that) but I had never heard of aella prior to this post and would guess this is likely true for many people who live outside of SF. Also, leader usually implies some level of giving directions, having power, commanding, etc which I found pretty unlikely given what I know of EA organizational structure and helped the fact I had never heard of this person.
I also disagreevoted for similar reasons. I’m familiar with Aella, but I would call her well known rather than a leader, such that similar to the top level comment here I don’t really know how much to update on her description of events.
I didn’t downvote/disagreevote either comment, but clearly if one disagrees that Aella is a leader then they may disagreevote. similarly, if they think the merits of this post stands independently of who Aella is as a leader and is based on the idea that she is famous, then they might also disagree with the last sentence.
Can someone who downvoted my replies explain why they chose to? I didn’t think I was saying anything controversial, so I’m confused.

(I’m also confused about it and the disagreement votes in your „ Aella is a leader in…“ comment.)

Thanks for explaining!
