Hi,

I don’t believe hiro was speaking as a community council member but as a tor project person.

We want to nurture an open and welcoming environment were people can come to read and learn about Tor. However, more and more tor-talk feels like somewhere core tor people don’t particularly want to be and so we are trying to change that. I’m sorry that in this case you feel you have been singled out. 

We want people to feel welcome when contributing to these lists and we would ask everyone to be mindful of the effect their posts have on the list as a whole to avoid creating a hostile environment. 

Thanks for understanding!

Pili
