I very much believe in transparency (with some exceptions), but maybe
that's my biggest problem, because most people don't like to be
questioned/critized in public. I also don't like it, but at least I try
to be frank about it.
i agree that thorsten's choice of words sounded a little unfortunate to
me as well (but then, maybe i'm over-sensitive since we've had more than
one heated exchange lately).
but after clarifying his intention (i.e. that people should look for
themselves and make up their own minds) i think the matter is perfectly
settled. bob's contributions do indeed speak for themselves.
now you pick out single lines of other people's postings, generalize
statements that were never meant as such, and ask rhethorical questions
that sometimes border on hostile yet seldom convey a palpable personal
standpoint. you claim ideals of good-will, openness and meritocracy, but
frequently phrase them in a way as to be plain rude to people.
i know i can be obnoxious at times, but people can just should at me and
tell me i'm a jerk. your style of hiding behind suggestions and
rhetorical questions is rather more difficult to deal with, and not
likely to foster an open discussion.
why do you resign from pmc duties one week and start guideline
discussions the next? sorry, but this looks like trolling to me,
especially since you have decided not to contribute to lenya anymore.
i hope i'm not starting a personal flame war, but i can't help thinking
there is an unsolved legacy of personal sensitivities and quarrels that
keeps cropping up... i'd rather not have to deal with that.
imnsho we have way too much meta-talk about guidelines, meritocracy, pmc
roles and whatnot, and way too little work is getting done.
which is why i'm shutting up now.
