I would refer you to the List Conduct Guidelines at http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html.
As on that spent most of my working career doing direct support of one form or another I know first hand that there is a certain amount of validity to some of Mr. Rudgers statements. We need to listen with open minds to all members open the OpenOffice community, even those with whom we may disagree, if we are to advance both the development of the software and its acceptance in the wider world.
