This is sad and dispiriting. https://twitter.com/Otosirieze/status/1250452871990181888

I withdraw my earlier (and, it turns out, naive and premature) defense of Brittle Paper's earlier decision on the matter.

I'm greatly saddened by how this has turned out.

Now, we need to hear from Ainehi.

Happy at last to read Ainehi Edoro's full response to the matter and hope that it puts the matter to rest. https://brittlepaper.com/2020/04/statement-on-the-departure-of-brittle-papers-former-deputy-editor/

It seems, @eddiehewitt32, that we weren’t far from the truth after all. An in-house editorial disagreement, spilled into a charged political space, took a bigger life than was initially intended, and drove everyone apart.

Sad, messy, badly managed, but not malicious.

I hope that the platform survives this, and thrives. There are many lessons to learn, and one hopes that they have been. As @MukomaWaNgugi said earlier, it has become too important to be left to two people. Those who care for it must continue to give it all needed support.
