throwing in the towel

  • Reported by Nate

webstandards.org decides to post a message in bad taste rather than a quiet period of inactivity. Seems needlessly destructive.

Ok, well zeldman's comments on matter are much easier to swallow. But I still find the notice to be unhelpful, perhaps they will just take it down eventually.

I tend to agree with your first statement. This announcement, especially given the format it comes to us in, is indeed unnecessarily damaging to the very desirable goals of the project. And I find it to be an affront to all of us who support those goals. Please visit my site for a *much* longer discussion of the issues involved and ongoing updates.

I dunno, I'm leaning away from having a problem with this. But I do wish they would take down the notice.
