David,
I appreciate your thoughtful and dispassionate comments. As you said, in
order for mediation to work, the parties must all be willing to come to the
table. In this case, the ASF is not likely to change from its core
philosophies regarding community development based upon respect and
collaboration amongst peers.
Stephen tends to use hyperbole, such as claiming that people view him as the
spawn of satan, to deflect the fact that he has contributed to a problem.
Regardless of what anyone else has contributed to the problem, until and
unless he is willing to recognize his own role, no amount of mediation would
be effective. However, if the Merlin community is willing to go through the
Incubator, and if the ASF is willing to permit that, you'd be welcomed to
participate. :-)
