I would like to take some time and construct a dialogue model for discussing this issue further. I feel this would be better - more productive - than me just listing a bunch of things that I think ought to be done (and a hell of a lot more interesting :-) ). And, you are right George; this is a serious problem. There are many truly creative people out there, with some truly creative ideas for the Project, but who are intimidated by the abusive nature of some of the dialogue. The result: they simply keep their thoughts and ideas to themselves - or take them elsewhere.
