I'm sorry, but I think you are misinterpreting how the
community works. Don't get me wrong, I've only be here for 2
years and I'm not a guru of social interactions, but to me it's
clear that the D "project" is a bit different from your usual
"leaders decide, everyone else follows".
I am not going into this, because then I would have to go down to
a theoretical dicussion on group dynamics, formal/informal
hiearchies and lots of different schools of thought and models.
That would be a long road to walk. ;-)
All groups need to define their boundaries. If they don't do it
clearly, each person will define his own boundaries and you will
enter a process of negotiation. Then you will have a clash of
those boundaries causing various dysfunctional dynamics.
Not defining your boundaries is not an option. It is going to
happen.
The question is: how much time do you want to spend on that
process before entering a productive state?
