Yes, I am taking them personally.  I honestly thought the issues could be 
resolved, but a 
few comments have hit some nerves.  After this conversation - 
https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
2016/10/30/%23kubuntu-devel.html#t23:32[1] I wrote an email to resign, it was 
not a very 
nicely worded email due to me being extremely angry at the time.  Aaron asked 
me to take 
the night to let things settle, which I did, I even attended the Vision meeting 
and tried to 
get a clear picture of what our goals are, thinking maybe its me with the wrong 
goals/
direction.  I felt that the issues I raised were not received very well and 
realised that it is 
actually only me who has these issues and therefore need to look at my 
involvement in 
the team.

I don't want to step back, I wanted to step forward by getting devel and 
helping Phil to get 
things done. But it is soul destroying with every discussion turning into an 
argument, 
every-time you try and do something, not to mention the time wasted and losing 
the will 
to participate and do anything.  Of course I would miss you, and I would still 
be around 
but I don't want to be responsible for this bad feeling.  It is bad for the 
entire team, not 
just me and also any new comers joining the channel and seeing this, they would 
just 
leave and never see them again.

I feel that by resigning/stepping down the KC could open a seat and get someone 
with the 
enthusiasm and drive to take the project forward.  I am just sorry that things 
have 
degenerated this far.

Clive
