Florence answers

This morning I woke up to an email from Florence (cc'ed to Kat, Frieda, Michael Snow, and Jan-Bart from the Board, and to Jay Walsh, Director of Communications). The email said the following:

Hello Danny,

I just listened to your interview to Wikipedia Weekly, and noted that in that interview, you accuse the chair of the board (that would be me) of wrong-doings. As the interviewer noted, that's a very strong statement. You also add that the board was at that time aware that Brad and the chair were guilty of wrong-doings.
You note as an example in your interview that one of the wrong-doings of Brad was to simply not show up at work. However, you did not give any example of my own wrong-doings. Given that accusing someone of wrong-doings is a very strong statement, I would like you to clarify to the current board (some members were actually board members at that time) which are the wrong-doings you are accusing me of.
I could also understand that in the fire of an interview, words went beyond your thoughts. If it is the case, I'll be happy if you could publicly clarify what you exactly mean.

Thank you.

Florence

Since I have been asked to "publicly clarify," I will do so here.
1. In that interview my intention regarding Brad and the Chair of the Board was to Brad and Jimmy. Florence only became Chair in November 2006, and any accusations in previous posts refer to the period before that.
2. That said, in my Board election campaign, I raised various concerns regarding Florence. While I still hold by these and some other concerns which I will not bring up at this point, I do not believe that Florence acted out of malice. Rather, she acted out of unfamiliarity with the laws governing a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit in the United States. Regardless, I continue to maintain that of all the people involved in this emerging story, Florence has consistently acted in what she believes to be the interest of the Foundation and its ideals.
3. I note that she has not dismissed my claims regarding Jimmy and Brad. In fact, from her email, she seems to be verifying my claims about Brad, albeit very cautiously.
4. I also note that her email to me failed to include Jimmy, Sue, Erik, or Domas in the cc.
5. Based on this email and on previous correspondence, I believe that Florence understands that what I said in previous posts was accurate. To avoid speculation, I will give an example of one such correspondence, dated March 6

Florence,
I am giving it all to you on a silver platter. (Sentence removed to avoid implicating others.) If you answer the questions honestly, Jimmy, Erik, and Sue are discredited. You come out the good guy. I think that is a far better situation than having them go after you next.

Danny

Florence responded as follows:

I do not think I can... At least, this evening, I do not think I can.

I had a question about the dinner. I have a vague memory that there were 4 people at that dinner. Do you remember who it was ?

I do not know why Florence chose not to answer my three questions below, but I continue to assume in the best of faith that she wants to. I do not know what, or who, is hindering her, but I repeat my earlier statement: The truth shall set you free.
