"In his resignation message, Srivastava said: "I concede that I
have made mistakes with the current set of votes. And the arguments
being made now, after the vote was called and started, are fairly
compelling. But these arguments could have been made when the vote
page went up, when I was sending in the emails about which option
had how many seconds, or when the draft ballot was sent in. There
are, in my opinion, far more cogent arguments being offered now,
than there were in the discussion period, and had these being made
earlier, we would not have come to this pass."
"He added: "It has been made clear to me that the project no
longer trusts me, and many consider that I have been the epitome of
sleaze over the years, manipulating votes for my own ends. That
hurts. I have also read planet. The amount of vitriol there makes
it untenable for me to participate in any efforts to recover from
this mess."
