Well, you extended what I said. My concern was on the way the "physical ressources" (I mean money, hardware etc ...) are handle. Mario found funding to host lubuntu.net, and some people of the community wanted to hijack it from him. I considered it unfair, and not realistic. I never talk about the content of the website, which was (I think), decided in a democratic way.
I think you are really unfair, I always try to publicly communicate on what I do, why I want to do, and to listen people. In this case, I have to handle a conclict between 2 sides. Of course, 1 side will be disagree, I can't avoid it. Add to this that this discussion was near final freeze, time when I really stressful, and you have this type of answer, which I agree, is a bit rough. I maintain that, even in Free Software, it's not always a democraty. Look at all big projects, there are rules, release managers, deadline ... Look at the Linux project, Linus Torvalds have a huge power, not everyone have the right to push changes to the kernel ... Still, I think we are trying to be have democratic as we can. If you are disagree with the way the project is handle, you can ask for a discussion on the mailing list. I can resign from my dictatorship hat, and focus on my dev hat (I join the project for this at the beginning) for the time of the discussion, the way we have to handle the governance of the project. If your point is only the way the lubuntu.net is hosted, this is another topic. We can discuss moving the hosting to someone else, but it has to be on a dedicated topic on the mailing list, to avoid confusion with the content of the website, and let all people explain themselves. I hope I clarify my point of view.
