Something that's been fairly consistent here on HN throughout the debacle has been an almost fanatical defense of the board's actions as justified.

The board was incompetent. It will go down in the history books as one of the biggest blunders of a board in history.

If you want to take drastic action, you consult with your biggest partner keeping the lights on before you do so. Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley had no business being on this board. Even if you had safety concerns in mind, you don't bypass everyone else with a stake in the future of your business because you're feeling petulant.
