What makes you think this is what il looking for? You are suggesting your values should take precedence over mine. > I haven’t actually talked about *my* values. I don’t think they’re super relevant, here. I’ve talked about values that are mainstream within the broader open source community. Could you explain how the values I described were exclusionary to yours, though? I'm involved in the community for the very values which certain individuals > wish to expunge.

For example, a lot of what you wrote in your first email really resonates with me, as I’m sure it resonates with others. These are shared values. I feel like we have disagreements on how those values are best implemented. But I don’t see a that much disagreement over overall goals. I believe the difference in implementation strategy is essentially due to looking at technology through different lenses and coming from different backgrounds. But I don’t really see anything irreconcilable with that. —tobie
