Unfortunately, that's not something everyone agrees on either. :-( So I hope you can understand how people who don't share this premise with you also don't reach the same conclusions you do. > What *does* affect it though is treating people of other faiths as (to > borrow your word) second class citizens and making them feel unwelcome. You continue to assume, without backing up the claim, that saying that someone is wrong about something must make them feel unwelcome or excluded or discriminated against. This seems to be the fundamental point of disagreement, and the one we should address. I believe in a community where dissent and polite disagreement on a wide range of topics can happen without it fracturing into pieces. Do you? If not, where are the boundaries here, in your view? If I say: "The design of this code is wrong" is that exclusive and discriminatory? How about: "Your view of the future of Mozilla is wrong" ? Or: "Your belief in the importance of the openness of the web is wrong. What we need is open content; open protocols don't matter."
