No-one has claimed that, except for you.

What Tollef said is that as I'd harmed (the perception of) fd.o, rather
than just quitting and getting to walk away, I should instead help out
with fd.o admin tasks as penance: his view was that after causing some

I've been doing just that.

better explain it.
