Dear Ian,
I do not intend to stop working on it, but even if it is not the first time (I hope no one would take such an action for one isolated mistake), I strongly beleive that such removal from a team where mostly anyone is supposed to be at a same level should be calmly discussed and debated with mostly everybody of the team in order to reach a consensus.
This decision looks like something decided just after an aggressive discussion about something which does not look that bad from where I sit.
Wouldn't taking some time to think before this removal had been a better idea for everybody?
Peace, love and cheers.
