Bruno,
in all honesty, I completely forgot about you in this instance. You totally
misunderstood and thought I intention to hint at you. This was not my
intention at all.
I'm in an awkward situation. I made a heated reply, and I'm sorry that I have
hurt your (and possibly) other peoples feelings. To be honest, I felt attacked
and accused by all this discussion about "openess". I think we really are as
open as it gets and there are so many unfair accusations in this thread, and
twisting around of facts, it truely baffles me.
Yes, I have made a mistake with how I worded my email. "Same problem with
anyone else who left" is a generalization, and these are always bad. I'm sorry
I said it this way, because of course it is not true. There are other people
who left for other reasons. Let me try to make it more clear what I meant,
because I don't want to take back my accusation, I'm just sorry for the
generalization I did. The (IMHO sick) argument was made that because people
left the admin team before, there must be a problem with the admin team. This
accusation hinted at specific reasons for why people left. What I really ment
was that in many of those instances, when personal problems amongst individuals
of the admin team (be it between two or more persons) caused someone to leave
the admin team... it is my opinion that often these problems were caused
because the individual leaving having a hard time taking critique or being
incapable of finding a compromise with the others. I know you left for othe
r reasons. Please take my apologies. I did not mean it the way you took it. I
did not think of you at all. Really.
Best regards,
-Stephan

How the hell did you manage to bring me in this stupid discussion is
beyond me, but I won't refrain from commenting on this. Although most of
the people on this list do not know, *YOU* do know that I was the only
one who left with Koki so your critic was directed to no one besides
myself. I agree with you the problem was an ego issue, but really, I
think it was not my ego that brought it to the point it reached.
Anyway, I won't really start it over again but I thank you for calling
me egocentric, unreasonable and narrow-minded. That was really an
eye-opener for me. At least now I know what to expect from you
(although, up to this point, I never saw it coming).
