If I could commit, you would rarely hear from me! |

Not to mention I would be working mostly in Java stuff, which no one is |
| 13 |
working in for many years. I have expressed this to comrel anytime I have |
| 14 |
interacted with them or members from 08-15. |

I have been forced to be social because I cannot work. I stated in my first |
| 17 |
post to -project the state of Java. Even proxying is not feasible when there |
| 18 |
is no one to commit the work. |

The "bad behaviour" comes from people basically standing in the way of work |
| 30 |
being done. Focusing on social skills, causing them to decline as things |
| 31 |
stagnate and are not done. The ones standing in the way are not doing the |
| 32 |
work. Nor finding someone to do the work. |
