There is some irony that the person asserting that "weakness" is the only possible reason that people feel they can no longer work with a community turns out to be Bruce "I resign! Again!" Perens.
Arguments against this irony from Bruce himself will be rejected as anecdotal. To be valid, I need to hear from everyone else before I can understand what his arguments are.
(If Bruce even exists, which I doubt.)

He argued that weakness is *not* the reason for women leaving. i.e women are not weak.

Yes, and he originally concluded from this that woman were not leaving, because only weak people would leave. Danny's point looks accurate to me.
(I can't believe we're *actually* describing Bruce's arguments to each other in this subthread.)
