Ok. I think it is time for some definition and clarification. Fear about harassment and threats is not only about physical consequences. Psychological threat is very real and did happen here. I think it is time to stop negate this fact. Many of us have been strong enough to handle it (call thick skin or having a safe personal distance to the project or whate ver you want), but other may not. And this is for them that I am standing here. Some are thanksful abd other did not ask me to do so. As Anthony very well said, the fact that some feel threatened, about aggressiveness or other bad behavior is already bad enough. Let stop hiding our face into the sand and paint a perfect world, it is not. For those still in doubts, ask users why they don't post to the list. Why they don't contribute. Our reputation of agressivity (and I take the blame on that too) did not do us any good and still do not. Thanks, Pierre
