The tone and content of the thread - hijacking the thread about the OOo Wiki
and turning into another round of a fight that has been over for weeks -
*that* stops other people from talking.  Nobody wants to get pulled back
into the fruitless ranting about the whole Marcon thing.  It's over.  For
good or bad, Ryan is no longer a MarCon.  We need to let that go and move
on.  Just whining about it or making accussations about it is not going to
do anyone any good.  And most people know that - so when they see people
bringing the war back from the dead, they shut up.  And you have estentially
killed a thread - this thread was actually bearing fruit.  There are now
multiple pages about the Marketing project on the Wiki. But nobody's talking
about the Wiki anymore, because the ghost of politics past is haunting the
thread.

Let it go.  If you think you need to "have your voices heard" (again) on the
subject - start a new thread on the apprioriate list.  And it's not
Marketing.  I know Ryan was a MarCon, but since that issue is no longer up
for debate - it has now moved onto the subject of hurt feelings and pointing
fingers.  That belongs on social (one of the most ironic names for a list
ever).
