Inaction, or ignoring, certain issues may be how I see doing
my job best.

Your lack of imagination is not my problem.

hey, flaming requires very few grey cells. Doing real work
requires more attention and effort. And again, no one can tell me
how I must spend my time -- unless they pay for the privilege.

The attitudes that are destroying the projhect are those that
think they can abuse people and be rude to them merely because they
signed up to do something for the project.

I don't think you have a basis for that last statement. I have
flamed people for idiocy irrespective of whether they were for or
against some viewpoint. And, in this case, the context is people
using this stupid GR to force people to act in certain ways -- and
in that context, you is all thepeople who think this is even a
halfway decent idea.
Faugh.
