Everyone participating can be blamed for complaints, or needlessly prolonging discussions. Some want to discuss everything, Some blame the other contributor.
Does the blame game help the project? Instead of pointing out the 'flaw' in other, it is better to apply some introspection first wit respect to one own contributions and that helps the project forward.
