Listen to me, and listen carefully. If you want to challenge me 
verbally, please don't put your head on the chopping block. A 
verbal fight where you put yourself up for verbal annihilation is 
just no fun!

I truly believe you when you claim that you are a people's person 
and that the community is more important to you than the 
product/license. Unfortunately you completely undermine your 
"people over license" argument by using abusive techniques that 
are usually tied to brainwashed people-unfriendly cultists. 
Techniques such as: trying to silence members by pointing out 
their lack of worth, threatening by shunning and resorting to 
ridicule.

I don't hold the view that the D community is more valuable than 
the product/license. The community is valuable, but the end 
product is more important and the community has to fully back the 
license and not undermine it.

I am not here to increase my self worth, though I don't mind an 
educated argument or a role playing stunt, I am here to increase 
the probability of having a programming language that is better 
than the alternatives for server programming within a few years. 
With the current situation it will take another decade.

I also happen to think that ketmar is funny and have the right 
go-happy nonchalant attitude (which I as a fan of Wodehouse 
appreciate). More of his sort will increase the probability of 
ending up with a great product. I am very much aligned with his 
outlook, although I probably will never agree with him on the 
syntax. That's ok, we don't have to agree on anything as long as 
we are having fun, are free to create and can freely share ideas.

The bottom line is this: if the community has to change in order 
to get a decent programming language, then that is the right 
thing to do.

You appear to think that management == control. You come through 
as a control freak, but I could be wrong.

Management is about nurturing talent, smoothing out differences 
and facilitating productivity. It is not primarily about control.

Cults usually have problem gaining more than 12-30 members. They 
constrain the freedom of their members too much. Bad idea.

For the D community to grow it has to play up to and appreciate 
diversity and conflicting goals among the members. That means you 
have to appreciate that people are participating for reasons you 
don't share and have other goals than yourself.

I'll be happy to fork D if it makes it possible for me to work on 
it full time. A license is a contract. You either stand by it or 
renegotiate it. I take the liberties of the liberal Boost license 
literally and will enjoy them in any fashion I fancy.

What you are saying is basically that you disagree with the 
license, so maybe Walter should have spent more time making sure 
that he had backing for it in the community, but that is an issue 
you have to take up with him. Not me or ketmar.
