I don't know the original poster, however, I recollect a number of similar posts on this forum over the past 2 or 3 years with the same user name. Freedom of speech is one thing, constructive engagement is another. FPL, for me, is an industry group where people work to establish standards that work for the whole community. People provide their time because it is something which is important to them. While it is helpful for someone to politely point out that something could be better, but it is, in my personnal view, less helpful if that help stops before making concrete suggestions for the community to discuss - because that is the purpose the forum was established for. > > I am not able to figure out what you would like people to change or > > avoid but I am convinced that insulting an entire community will not > > get you there.
