Hi, Ger, I'm sorry for this message in advance, as I really do try to work /with/ folks as much as I can, but I'm going to speak up this time, before things get any harder.
I'm not pleased with what in the past has felt like interference from you in the FAQ work. I can pull up several issues where you have been somewhat rude, you have changed subject matter to deviate from the task at hand, and you seem to pick directions in the work that do not synchronize well with plans that have been discussed openly, openly enough so that you should be quite aware of the happenings. I can pull up quite a few communications from past issue reports and emails to support my claim. I won't do that yet, because I hope I don't have to go that far to get you to see how your attitude has not been very encouraging to me. I do not find your behaviour encouraging. You often treat others as if they should just know what things that seem obvious to you, so I expect that you know things, especially things that occur right under you nose on the lists or in the issue reports. I make it a point to do all my work out in the open. I do not like you emailing me off list, nor calling me "in the name of OOo work", while your messages yell "PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST." I resent having to go in and "clean up" your work, because you do appear to be such a bright person. I resent your insults in the issue reports. If you continue to behave in a way that degrades me or interferes with my work, I will challenge your leadership position. I do not feel encouraged by the behaviour. It is not in line with the attitude that is specified for an OpenOffice.org project leader. I think it is unnecessary. You don't touch anything around my work until I do. Then when you do, you do it in a way that is incomplete, non-polished, abrasive, or challenging of the general direction, after you criticize me for my html work, including things as small as my html composer rewrapping code, which I see from almost all others that do work in the doc project, or you criticize my intelligence, as if I do not know what I am doing. Nonetheless, I've tried hard to bring my work to a state that meets your quality standards, so as to work in a way that feels good to you and does not rub you the wrong way. I'm tired of of the double standards, and the dissension I run into with you, when I try to ramp up the FAQ work. I will stand up to it and challenge your position, if that is what it takes to make it stop. Consider yourself forewarned.
