There is always friction, and often conflict, in the open source 
community.

Why? Because there is no dictator, dictating the terms of what 
people should do, how they should do it, when they should do it. 
There are no consequences for not submitting to some authority. 
People are free to think and do as they choose.

So if you want to be part of an 'real' open source community, you 
need to understand that fact - before you understand anything 
else.

This is why democracies are what they are - frought with fiction, 
and often partisan conflict - cause people are free to think for 
themselves - and this often leads to friction and conflict.

You need to be able to maturely deal with that friction and 
conflict.

Go try living in north korea. not much conflict there - you get 
inprisoned or shot if you do not think and do as the leader 
dictates.

Your suggestions are welcome. Just don't tell people that if they 
don't listen to them, then their community is bad. That's not how 
an open source community works.

If you are free to think and do, so are others.
