There is no “fighting from within” on this, when the rule is that fighting from within can get you banned.

2. I was on the Board for four years. I’m not sure how much more within you can get than what we had. And we are still here.

3. I do not think RWA is salvageable at this point unless and until it takes serious and immediate steps to change course.

You cannot understand how much it pains me to write this. Being on the Board, and fighting the way I did—it took up so much energy and writing time. It probably cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost books. No joke.

But the thing that is salvageable is *us*. Our community. RWA simply has to make the choice whether it is part of that or not.

And in many ways, I think moving forward is easier if we’re not stuck with the baggage.

I do not want it to come to this. I believe in RWA’s purpose. I helped rewrite that purpose to include a commitment to diversity. I am heartbroken.
