Emily ran it by me before posting it and I thought it was fine. She did attempt to get feedback before posting. Maybe I failed her there. There was nothing more damaging than Company's post which is still quoted even today. Benjamin even today said that nobody refuted his "staring at the Abyss" post. So his Benjamin's post true? Because people are still talking about it and referencing it. It was gift that continues to keep on giving. What Benjamin posted was totally fine by me, he has a right to air his concerns in public. It is a public project after all. I will argue the same for Emily. All most people will get out of Emily's post is that communication is important. Maybe it was a bit inartful, but I think we should forgive that. > I can understand that their intentions are noble, but the last time someone > took their chances we ended up with: > http://en.wikipedia.orgkeeps/wiki/GNOME#cite_note-6<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME#cite_note-6> > > Again, nobody refuted it.
