well, sometimes you have to deal with unpleasant things. that's life. it seems fairly clear to me that this issue isn't going to go away without some sort of arbitration, if then; there will continue to be eruptions of this sort until it is handled. personally, i think repeated eruptions will have a more deleterious effect than one long one that kills the volcano for good and all. also remember: we're about community, and about openness. we have a community issue here, and i think it is improper to turn our backs on it. the incubator more than any other part of the foundation is where this should be handled, i think; if you can think of a better, please say so. but i don't think the issue is going to go away just by wishing or covering it up and pretending it doesn't exist. i haven't finished reading all the threads, so i'm withholding my opinion until i do. something is going to be done about this. the differences will be reconciled, or one or the other or both parties will 'leave' (work on projects that have no intersection with the other person), or someone (or someones) will get a metaphorical smack upside the head. it will not be allowed to fester indefinitely. and these things happen, so figuring out how to deal with them provides valuable examples and material for the 'keeping a community healthy' aspect of our documentation. - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBQO6XTJrNPMCpn3XdAQEeHgQAsIlacg36iuRwgw+evAcKNO+lWOn/FQYD 2fyW/HKjD0dUFOkjh04Qnl5ryuOT0qj8B9U4T2IFassVCmfGc/HjDcuJm8MWB3XK zcnPx2Op9mLfFLcP/brUjtSnepc8iR0SbhNsDb3C/KcL1Aun7YXHxSt1GCpnEPPx Gq9iWLg9FEg= =lz1G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
