Just some thoughts, and I could be wrong
I have watched with interest the comments passed back and forth, after the
resignation of one of our members.
I am by no means a competant C Programmer, or a Linux Guru, but do feel
quite comfortable here in the Debian Community. As a user I appreciate
deeply the work and dedication which has, and is still being done on the
package, and the great help I have received in getting my system together,
and functioning reliably. (It has not fallen over yet unlike others I have
seen in the past)
Throughout the threads of the discussion, I have noticed a touch of
animosity between some of our members and while discussion can be heathy,
bickerring and animosity is not, and we all must be careful that we do not
split the community down the middle. It would be a great pity for Debian
to flounder in any way, shape or form.
I am seeing a possible rift developing between some of our members, and I
do not believe that any of us would wish for this to happen.
I look at the situation it that one of our members has moved on, and no one
person in any organisation will bring that organisation down...and it
certainly is not worth a civil war over. The goals of the organisation do
not change by the addition or subtraction of a single member, although he
may be of influence.
Emotive discussion and nit picking can only harm the organisation as a
whole. We need to be careful not to turn this situation into a flaming
match.
I may have misread the situation, but this is how I saw it as a newbie to
the community.
