- A whistleblowing SC member approached the author to help expose misconduct within the Steering Committee (SC).
- The SC planned to lie about their rationale for removing a moderator (K900) from the team, discussing phrasing to avoid admitting 'insubordination.'
- John Ericson admitted privately the decision was based on 'accumulated vibes,' contradicting the public claim of steering towards 'objective moderation behavior.'
- The SC sought to retroactively compile a 'List of bad things k900 did' to justify their decision, calling it 'parallel construction.'
- The author praises the whistleblower, Winter, for risking retribution for the community's benefit.
- The author calls for structural changes in the SC to prevent secrecy, distrust, and burnout.
- The community is asked to support a call for John Ericson's resignation from the SC to avoid further conflict.
- Elections are upcoming, and the author urges John to resign gracefully to prevent a forced removal process.
