It's very late where I live, so I'll keep this brief and reply to other points later. As indicated by this thread a lot of people really like working with Nico.Do we really want our community to have the lowest common denominator of what everyone can stomach communication-wise, determine

Hi, Lets keep it civilized (ironic considering what we are talking about). From what I hear, the decision was based on multiple "incidents" and I don't think the decision was made lightly and I certainly don't think the decision was made with a vicious intend. I know the people from the leadersh
