Situation is not problematic at all. what makes you say that?
let's defuse this balloon for a second , being inflated with no reason.

There is nothing exact like that here explained, but just personal
feelings and personal feelings are putting conversation down on to
personal level.

There is nothing like that sentence I can find at the moment, so dunno
what you are talking about. What incident??

It is your problem that you see yourself as being waging a battle
instead of working with others.

Only dysfunctional behavioral problem I see here, is trying to subdue
all community to minority rule for no apparent reason.
And problem not looking at the text that has issues, but just talking
about it indefinitely...

Actually not talking about any exact issue nor a problem, but trying to
solve any future issue, only with governing? How solving everything with
governing is called?

So don't try to replicate your own problems into Openindiana community,
but making problems with dysfunctional operation procedures (secrecy)
and broad sentences bringing more problems.

It is done in different order to be functional, not rule can be imposed
before creating body that is elected form the people.

It is more important What is inside a document, so actual topic is not
pro et contra,
it is dealing with things in presented text instead.

There is no "magical stick" that will produce that.
There is already very a nice working environment and all benefits and
abilities that can be used to do great things in OI.
It is important to say that it is simply not true that in OI it is hard
to achieve things, at all.
Actually it is easy to achive things, if your 'thing' is for the benefit
ofr the OI.

Well, I suppose he can do whatever he wants, but painting OI in black
tones, will not help him .
