I'm pleased it got a conversation going. The topic needed to be addressed. I took it down as I realized that when dealing with others expressing narcissistic tendencies, the article would not have any impact on their behavior anyway. I think I can see now who the narcissists are, as they double down on their abusive behavior. Abusers often don't realize they're abusing anyone. However, victims of their abuse do recognize it. > If 9front has constructed a culture where someone who calls themselves > "Innovator Harnessing the Power of Open Source: Transforming Businesses, > Empowering Solutions" does not feel welcome, then I am profoundly > satsified with that culture, and commend everyone involved in its > creation.

Dealing with a social issues on this mailing list is akin to standing in a summer sun, if I deal with them too long I'll become sun burned, and I'll find myself in need to step out of the sun to reduce the severity of the pain. If I can stop getting sun burned, my chances of contributing would improve. I often wonder how many more contributors there might have been if the environment were different. Fostering a better environment would help improve the chance for collaboration is what I'm saying. It seems that hiring someone to help do this for me is a better idea. That way I can step out of the sun. Take care.
