So you don't acknowledge that there are people (like me) who are "really
interested in OSM" and same time they are discouraged by a situation
like this and are considering leaving the project?
By your logic either everyone has to STFU and agree with the actions of
OSMF or they have to leave the project because they are not really
interested in OSM.
Actually, no, you are twisting my words. The world is not black and
white, it is shades of gray. There is a a place where you can care about
OSM and disagree with the board, just not abuse and criticise them them
for volunteering to do a hard job or threaten to to stop your
development work out of spite.
Actually, I question just how valuable the work is of someone who uses
it to threaten the community with withdrawing it if he is a bit upset. I
prefer to see the work given freely without strings attached - that's
what I see as what Open means. YMMV.
