        I can't believe I read the whole thing
Robinson really messed up by sending out that email asking for resignations, and I understand people lashing out and burning bridges after that. You'd hope for less of that coming out of a leftist project, but people are humans first
If you tend to fall on your sword, you can really fuck yourself when the initial sword-falling doesn't work and you just keep stabbing yourself until everyone's happy. This shows in Robinson's proposal to pay severances out of his own pocket. Some problems just can't be solved with ever-increasing self-flagellation! Ask how I know! (just kidding please don't ask)
It's nuts how much the board was willing to throw Robinson under the bus in their statement; that actively hurt the magazine
