While I'm a bit afraid of adding fuel to this fire ... this is what it looks like to me.
Â
I don't think there was a immediate security threat, per se. Yes, we can parse concepts and say that inactivity in a threat in of itself -- especially when it is slowly strangling the region due to inactivity. I think Hile saw something that needed to be done and acted. Period, end of story. I think he's using a threat as justification for his actions.
Â
I think what everyone might not realize is that at times, as root admin, you need to go to bat for these things.
Â
Yes, Todd, Hile could've send out TGs and to everyone.
And waited a week for a vote.
Or a week for a discussion.
And then a vote.
And then ask for new nominations.
And then hold another round of discussions.
And another vote.
And then maybe we'd had some new admins ...
by Christmas.
Â
Yes, we don't want our root admins to have complete control of the process. But, sometimes quick action needs to be taken.
Â
I also think we need to give Hile some credit. As much as we don't want this to be about the person, it ultimately is. We can't separate Hile from this role. He has done enormous things for the region and I think that needs to be considered in these discussions.

"I learned that dreams don't work without action. I learned that no one could stop me but me. I learned that love is stronger than hate. And most important, I learned that God does exist. He and/or she is right inside you underneath the pain, the sorrow and the shame."
