.... eh?

*You* turned me down. I continue running stuff because apparently no one
else is able to do so, especially not infra. (Am I grumpy?)

I know it's bad form to quote private IRC communications, but in June
2014 you said:


<robbat2> but yourself and ryao are the two people i'm not inviting to
infra at this point
<robbat2> unless stuff gets really dire
<robbat2> i need to not inflame some of the politics, and while y'all
get stuff done, i can't juggle that and the politics at the same time


And I'm now like "... eh?"


Sigh.
