I do.
What questions can you answer from it that aren't insanely vague? What specific details can you give based on that data point? What were the issues? Who was involved? Who were the negative instigators; other members of the GDC or people who were being big meanies *to* the GDC? Why did it compel Dave to leave the GDC? What about Woodie -- same or different reason?
You can't answer any of these questions. What we have here is a near-complete lack of information, absolutely. If you think otherwise, I think you're a little too confident in your reading of that paragraph.
It's just as easy to interpret Dave's message as "we on the GDC take a lot of unfair crap, and I am unable to respond to all the crap we've taken in such a way that it would be both professional and honest, and yet personal conviction means that I can't go on NOT responding to all that crap if I stay on the GDC, so I'm outta here before things get ugly."

So, yeah, I know what Dave said. I just don't think anything of any substance can be taken from it except a confirmation that they resigned from the GDC and an unwillingness to talk about it.
Thus, this speculation should be left right where it has been: nowhere.
