I didn't claim that there was an attempt to remove James from the team.
I claimed that there was an attempt to remove responsibilities from him
without asking him beforehand.

Because it's the one I have the text of, and because they're
semantically equivalent.

Oh, I don't believe you're evil (despite you joking about wanting to
have me physically beaten because you didn't like an email I sent). I
just believe that having you as DPL would be a bad thing.

No, but I did spend a great deal of time trying to talk you out of
things I thought were harmful and trying to convince people not to quit
the project because of things you were proposing to do. I acknowledge
that you've spent a great deal of time and effort on Debian in the past
year.
(How many of last year's DPL team are willing to serve again with you as
DPL?)
