Iam remotely joining almost every FFlabs meeting even though iam not a fan
of meetings. Because you asked me to, i did not join them before that

And joining VDD remotely would definitly have been very stressfull for me
and iam not even sure how usefull it would have been but i did not even
have the option.
You say "people have tried for many years to accommodate you" but from 30
people not one could make a recording or run some sort of realtime stream.
thats the opposit of accommodate
Also to ask people to come, not even knowing why specific people dont come.
And then assume everyone not coming, did so by their 100% free choice is
another issue in this IMHO

Theres a difference between free speech and treating each other in a respectfull way
We generally dont do a "show of hands" for team members, not allowing that
specific team member to participate in a prior discussion and then post
that online afterwards.
That is IMHO at least rude.
