Or you could assume that I dislike bureaucracy and drunken barbecues
(I can't drink much) and spent our last bank holiday weekend of this
year with my family instead. It would be closer to the truth.
I sounded several people out and the reasonable people I asked (some
of whom disagree with me) seemed not to be going to Cambridge either.
We'd all been told the AGM would be a waste of time anyway:

and you've been stomping on any bugfix ideas from the outset:

I doubt it, but just in case they've missed the point, like you
have: please sell debian t-shirts and CDs, please donate back
to the project, but please don't call your business Debian yet.

That'd be irrelevant. Fix DUS however you want, but fix it.

I did a bad job of communicating on several occasions, but I
think it was a tough sell from when DUS was secretly formed. I
did state on 10 August that I'd start using messier tactics to
limit damage for me, so you had your chance for input too.

That's not a motive for this.

Your idea of reasoning seems to be a compromise by one side only.
