18 sorry, but that's utter bs. there is a disconnect between what you find
19 valuable and what i find valuable. all you're doing is assuming your position
20 is right and mine is wrong and thus i'm in the wrong and thus any disagreement
21 that causes strife after that is my fault. if common ground between
22 developers cannot be attained, then it is the council's job to step in and
23 make a decision.
