Rod,
Hang in there, you are a fantastic individual as anyone who truly knows you will attest. The reality is that open governance of Open Source projects is very hard and difficult to sustain long term. As corporate and personal interests drive political agendas things spiral out of control.
Having had a front row seat in the JBoss, MongoDB, Apache, and Node.js communities I have to say the one that is poised to not stand the test of time is the Node.js project with its current governance. Hard decisions have to be made and when committee’s drive decisions things get very hard to move forward.
There are also people who had an agenda against you for some time, which is unfortunate as they don’t really know you. You deserve better than this and hope you find a happy ending to this witch hunt.
Cheers,
Ben
