Do you know what is sad? Your way of pushing the public opinion into a
direction that fits your personal needs and plans. You were the one who
threw out announcements although we never really agreed on anything.
Everyone but you (and the beryl-devs) wanted to let beryl re-join the
compiz-community (including Will) - that was always the idea.

Now we are at a point where we have to drop the forums, the
compiz-community and our well-working organization structure - am I
wrong in my complains? Where exactly do you see your loaylty here?

That's ridiculous. When were you unable to reach me? We need weeks for
making a decision and then you guys start hurrying because you can't
reach me for about 24 hours? And did you ever think of how much work is
needed to create a new template or port the existing one? You sound like
this happens just by snapping your fingers ... You were almost finished
- ha ha ha ...

You think insults bring this situation any further? Especially from you
I would have expected something more constructive. Really poor ... I
first criticized you in private but that didn't seem to help. I
extensively tried to express my disagreement with several things - but
you ignored me.

If you want your new forums then set it up and be happy with it. The
chances to get me to agree with one of you two suddenly went to zero. If
you two are so great experts then try it your way - everyone can do as
he likes.

We all tried to do the right thing - you suddenly tried to do _your_
thing.

:P
