62 Calm down please. I don't scream in public. I tried to start quiet a lot
63 of discussions in private before I make my decision. You are right.
64 "Retire" is not a good work for the 4 people that left. Maybe "gone" is
65 more appropriate.
66 But, seeing your tone, it is very hard for me to even start a discussion
67 cause everything leads to personal attacks, irony and Mediterranean
68 temper that we both have. I lost all of my motivation and energy with
69 Samuli's case. IMHO, kicking them out wont improve anything. They both
70 agreed to follow the establish policy after all. QA team requires
71 *active* (do note the word) people, not just people with high respect to
72 rules. You have to admit, that now, you and Dane are the only ones who
73 are really *active*. Can you two really handle the QA load by yourself?
74 Diego, leadership means that you have to motivate and inspire people.
75 People need to follow you not because they afraid of you but because
76 they admire and respect you. You never really tried to talk to us and
77 get some insights. Everytime we received a mail from you it was because
78 someone has screwed up something and you were mad at him. Please, just
79 stop and think for a second that you *may* be wrong at some points.
