Jim, Your misunderstanding of someone else's point of view and dismissing it out of hand without any further discussion is what got us here in the first place. You have no problems ignoring whatever you feel like which generally makes it hard to arrive at a resolution. Your job as an ASF Board member is to facilitate discussion not stifle it. It is your repeated canceling of face to face meetings and lack of communication over the span of months that has left us where we are. You shirk your responsibility as the board member primarily responsible for this debacle and then basically refuse to be accountable by just saying you're going to ignore me. If you want to ignore me that's fine, but don't ignore the problem you've heavily contributed to forming. I don't need to be involved but the board, Mark Struberg (who appears to be responsible now from the Maven PMC side), Larry and Wayne can get this resolved with one call. Then it's done and we can move forward and do what's best for the Maven project and more importantly Maven users.
