If I agree that an EN project should not be created out of frustration, however I think that what Ryan and Ian expressed has to be taken into consideration.
I'm surprised that we say "no" to people offering time an energy to our community. I feel that this is not the concept of the NLC. I'm surprised that we say "no" without proposing anything else. Please don't see all this as a critic, but more interrogations.
I feel that saying -1 doesn't give any answer to the strenght of community they asked for and the help they need to manage this community, even if I understand well that this could not be done in emergency and in response to a possible fork.
Kind regards Sophie
