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.

Sincerely,
Diane Mackay
