I hope so too, but I would understand why they wouldn't say so. People might be nervous, scared or simply confused - in which cases they'd be less likely to speak up than if they were angry. Fact of (online?) life, folks! Therefore, this might be a good time to clarify what this list is for, and what kinds of things are not considered appropriate or productive. Currently, we have a single sentence on [[m:Mailing list]] [1] about maintaining wikiquette and avoiding personal attacks - and nothing on the foundation-l info page [2]. This could be essentially refactoring what's on the Improving foundation-l page [3]; but in any case, guidelines should be explicit somewhere to both discourage what we don't want, and to encourage what we do - thereby hopefully reassuring people that we *do* value diverse input.
