True, I could have just ignored it, knowing full well that no changes are planned - but then of course you would start to moan that the staff are ignoring you (see below). I opted to inform you.
That's so far off being true it's almost funny. Who are these "old" staff exactly ?
Since you quoted the entire post can I assume it is all hilariously off the mark? Or was it just some of what I said you are referring too?
Are you saying that my assertion that change at the .org takes time is hilarious? Or that some new staff members seem to have reversed their public opinions on certain issues (not just this one) after becoming staff is hilarious? BTW: That's not a criticism. Becoming staff usually does change some of what people think or at least how they present it, for many reason.
Is my contention that older staff have set beliefs on things like the install button and coding for profit hilariously off the mark? Are you really going to make me search and quote Danny, Princeton, And Zach 1 & 2? Yes, some of the big holdouts have moved on now, like Edwin (again, not a criticism, just a statement of fact about how some people felt on some topics). But, to say that older staff with entrenched views doesn't exist seem spurious to me.
I think some people might be seeing this as argumentative or critical, but it's not meant to be. What I'm saying is that change takes time, especially on big boards, and that change usually comes with staff shakeups. We only have to go back a few months to Marco's stepping in to see evidence of that. Almost all boards work this way. So my point was to try and not get frustrated (specifically addressing Dreams comment of "Ok, I won't be giving you feedback anymore") and if you feel strongly about an issue just keep bringing it up for debate now and again.
