I don't know what else we can do, alas. They seem bound and determined to smear me with false allegations. I think they're dragging things out in hopes that most people will forget about it and move on. They don't seem to care at all about the harm they've done to me and to the communities.
The accusation that I don't treat people with respect (or worse) is particularly offensive to me. Someone seems to have decided that "disagree" means "disrespect", which is BS. What they're doing is the opposite of fostering diversity.
One of the things I love(d) about my SE communities is the breadth of perspectives -- international, multicultural, a wide range of personal factors/identities... we learned a lot through respectful discourse. But now some perspectives are driven out, and I don't mean the ones we all agree should be driven out like the haters.
