It's odd to read an apology for something that you didn't do

Welcome, Teresa.

I want to personally apologize for our actions or inactions, as the case may be, in the past that had a negative impact on our relationship.

I appreciate that sentiment, particularly if it's heartfelt, but you didn't do any of that. Over the past couple of years, some other folks did. Not random people, but decision makers at SEI (or whatever name corporate stack operates under).

About a month ago, I joined Stack Overflow as Head of Product and Community.

I wish you nothing but the best as you travel this journey uphill, in a snow storm ... and I hope that you can get some change implemented.

Something I'll ask you to consider about the nature of SE/SO: a substantial amount of value that the SE and SO model built and cultivated was donated (for free) by a wide variety of volunteers. I think a lot of people feel both taken advantage of and taken for granted. Burns like that can leave a mark.

Good will is a hard resources to accumulate; when you do "you'll know it when you see it."

We'll know it when we see it, and so will you. Here's hoping. And as they say in Missouri: Show Me!

We'll know it when we see it coming from SEI. You'll see it in return.
