Colleagues,

When asked if I would let my name stand as a candidate here I said yes
based on the assumption that there would be other candidates,
followed by an open dialogue about what was desired as an outcome.
I am dismayed by the turn of events and wish to stem the slide toward acrimony.

In the interests of civility I withdraw my name as a candidate.
Let the dialogue return to better ground.
