I would nevertheless like to minimize the amount of people who need to post about it as much as possible. Because as other people in this particular shambling corpse have noted, sometimes you get people who are clearly posting without having tried restarting the metaphorical modem.
And, of course, talking about things for which there can be no clear solution in a voluntary hobby with a fluid and decentralized population base isn't always going to fix issues either. But it can make people unnecessarily unreasonable at each other about it.
Yeah, dialogues never solve anything. You're totally right. You have truly attained ~*~dark enlightenment~*~.
No, but for real, an open dialogue about issues that arise in any community (decentralized or otherwise) is a pretty clear route to eventually fixing problems, even if you have to address each case individually, and there's no silver bullet that fixes all the problems everywhere, forever.
Basically, it's a project, not a switch, and you're not 14 anymore, so this kind of thing is not only counter-productive, it's ill-informed. Or. As this other person said it:

Good on you, Addison. Some of us think it should be addressed. I agree with those people. I think it should be addressed. You can freely not address it. I don't care what you do. You're not going to stop me, though.
You're not even my real dad, I'll do what I want.
