Hey everyone, we (the moderators) realize that seeing this post on the Forum may cause some negative emotions and that it might be worth discussing how to process this post in light of his recent apology. But we also want to give space to object-level discussion of the contents of the post, and separate those out somewhat. So we ask that you avoid commenting on Owen’s recent apology anywhere but in this thread. New top-level comments (and responses to them) should focus on the contents of the post; if they don’t, we’ll move them to this thread.
We’re not doing this to prevent any specific conversations from happening, but rather because we hope that separating the conversations out will make them go better.
We’ve never tried this setup before but might try it again for important (and difficult) conversations depending on how it goes here.
