I read Chris McDonough's defence of Tim Peters and he has convinced me.
Not because of everything he said but because I have experience of

The problem is generational.
Later generations can see the faults of earlier generations in brilliant
hindsight. I certainly did.
As another self-proclaimed troglodyte weighing in, I'm always suspicious
of authority shifting with limited explanations, which seems to have
been at the heart of the dispute. Questioning such is a responsibility
many of us take seriously.
However, I'd just like to point out: cultures evolve. Inclusivity is no
longer obtained, as in our younger days, by saying "suck it up and get
on with it". The steering council has this in their charter - PEP-13.
These are not people who are making difficult choices for reasons of
personal aggrandizement.
