At last night's meeting I shared that many recent threads on the email list and off-list have made me feel hurt emotionally. I get the impression that there is a feeling of a lack of resolution, and that major issues get left ignored to fester.
I have reached out to find resources to help us grow emotionally and socially over the coming months, and I encourage others to do the same.

p.s. For some time, I was burnt out on the sudo-discuss email list. In the space, on frustrated occasions, I spouted verbal negativity about the list and how I felt derailment, non-sequitur, and miscommunication promoted further negativity and did not reflect sudo's values. However, I realized this isn't how I feel about the sudo-discuss list. I have always felt it is necessary to embrace our online communications--and community--as much as any other contributing element or energy in sudo room. For this reason, it is even more crucial that I extend my personal appreciation, offer vindication for any time (all cycles) spent on sudo room, and remind myself publicly that our discussion list is a core component to running a creative community and hacker space.
