True to my word, I have removed my page of the original article. The apology appears here.
I tend to be passive-aggresive. This time I (and others) chose to write to the people involved. There was disagreement, but the right thing has been done for Toronto, Vancouver, and others that chose not to sign.
Despite the wording of the apology, this was never about me or my interpertation. It was about staying true to the wording of question 6 in the Q&A and the stated spirit of the UP.
