Surely, that could have been done better (and I don't like that bman |
| 9 |
didn't contact me) but the repeated claims that it came out of nowhere |
| 10 |
are plain bs. The bug for discussing what to do [1] was open for a year |
| 11 |
and 3 months. The only person replying on the bug was maekke, and I |
| 12 |
think I've talked with some other member on IRC but don't recall whom |
| 13 |
exactly. |

Now, I'm sorry if you feel like people didn't ask for your opinion. |
| 16 |
However, if you really cared about graphics project then you should've |
| 17 |
either joined the team or at least monitored the alias, and replied to |
| 18 |
the bug. Attacking people because they executed the action nobody |
| 19 |
objected to is not nice. |

Again, I would like to remind you the golden rule: if you want something |
| 22 |
to be the way you want it to be, do the work or convince somebody to do |
| 23 |
it. Making unjustified demands of others, ignoring problems and then |
| 24 |
complaining is not helping anyone. This applies to everyone, regular |
| 25 |
developers and Council members alike. |

He's not the first and not the last person to use wiki wrong. I'd argue |
| 34 |
the problem is that MW is retarded and it's easy to get it wrong. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
However, instead of using this as an excuse to strengthen your attack |
| 37 |
you could've just pinged wiki admins to restore the page (hey, we don't |
| 38 |
monitor everything that happens on the wiki!). This is done now, enjoy. |

Didn't you just argue against using any information to drive decisions |
| 45 |
on package removal? Then indeed masks are the only tool we have. |
