Respectfully, I disagree.  Fortunately, we're not required to agree on 
all things.  That would be awfully boring.

You know, I *could* respond point-by-point, but to be perfectly frank 
it's not worth my time.  Clearly you've made up your mind and aren't 
interested in changing it.  You appear to be just interested in shouting 
and swearing at people.

Quite honestly, I don't care if you *founded* S.u.S.E.  *Nothing* gives 
you the right to treat others like that.  Community is based on people 
having some degree of mutual respect for each other, and being able to 
disagree without being disagreeable.

If you want to actually *discuss* something, I'm happy to have a 
discussion with you on how to improve the project.  But I'm not willing 
to participate in a "discussion" with any individual that takes a tone of 
"f*ck you if you don't agree with me".

For what it's worth....I've been participating in leadership roles in 
online communities for almost 30 years.  So yes, I actually do know what 
I'm talking about.  I could act like an egotistical bastard about it, but 
as actions go - those aren't things that I would respect *myself* for.  I 
don't like to make a "thing" out of it, because my years of experience in 
online communities don't make me worthy of respect.  

But I certainly hope my *actions* do.  I also accept that I'm not going 
to get universal respect for what I do.  <shrug>  Nobody can please 
everyone.

Jim
