Hi Marth64,
thanks and nevermind. I truly don't want to accuse anybody of anything and at
the very least the members of the CC. I know about your intentions to improve
the community and totally appreciate that.
I also have no doubts that you have done some good things which haven't become
public. It's important to have community members like you who are trying to
keep people together.
My criticism is solely on the structure of the CC operations, which is based on
many observations I had made during the past months. You - and the members of
the CC - are taking your perceived integrity at stakes, solely for taking that
role, not even due to any action that was taken. And when you take any (public)
actions, some will always think it was wrong or will be dissatisfied. It's
really a tough position to fulfil.
My overall impression is that the sole existence of the CC in the current form
is more dividing than unifying, no matter what the CC does - and even when it
would to nothing at all, the distrust that has emerged wasn't based on anything
the CC has done, just about what it might be doing. Similar, the disregarding
or CC members like being from this or that "group" or "party", like it had been
alluded from various sides recently.
I wanted to illustrate the mechanism of and effects of the CC concept and how
it can hardly fulfill the intended purposes in a beneficial way (in total sum)
- no matter how good and faithful and passionate the people are who are taking
those roles. Or let me put it this way: The CC structure is too much
overshadowing the good things you are really intending to do.
The elementary school comparison is intended to illustrate which kind of system
we have: making complaints privately and expecting the target being sanctioned
publicly - that's not a healthy pattern.
Btw. if you would really want to take it literally, you would be a teacher, not
a child, but again, it was really not meant to call anybody a child or anything
else, it was meant to make people think about the current system and how much
sense it makes for this community.
Best wishes
