"In people's mind" is where thoughts come to fruition and actions are decided.The message I was trying to get across was that the "firewall" a.k.a. barrier between members and committers exists mostly in people's minds. Membership is not much more than a recognition of one's work plus a stamp of approval for being "usually reasonable." Think of membership as even more positive karma in slashdot. From the Foundations perspective membership also entails responsibilities and obligations but that's a different topic.
It's just that I don't like it when a discussion gets cut off by someone using that imaginary firewall as a reason - even adding a redirect to some other place where it is deemed more appropriate for the discussion to be held. Oh well ;)
