I'd argue that anyone who cares this much should "go for a while".

For over at least a decade now it's made no sense that we hold people in certain roles to a higher standard than anyone else. These high standards are a form of power transfer that hurts those who believe in them. Can't we just admit we're all human?

We are all human, yes.

And when there's a leadership role, there are multiple people who are qualified.

It's okay to express your preference that the leadership role be filled by someone who doesn't go on a public, drunken, life-threatening rant.

>>sublin+(OP)
Does he actually "represents tech"? I am really not sure about that.

>>suslik+V3
He doesn't represent "tech". He is one of the major figures who represents SV/SF tech culture, though.

It's also okay to express your preference that the role be filled by someone who didn't get there by drumming up the media and casting aspersions.
