Sorry Alan, but with the greatest respect I believe it important that these types of discussions are allowed to happen openly within the community. This thread was started on a community mailing list by a member of that community expressing what he would like to see from his Community Enterprise OS. Why people feel the need to be so aggressive, I'm not sure but we are all adults and I'm sure no one will be mortally wounded by a few ill chosen words in the heat of debate.
Some within the community have expressed what they would like from their Community Enterprise OS and the developers have made it perfectly clear that it is their Community Enterprise OS (not the community's), and that the community can go whistle (my interpretation). That's a useful discussion to have openly and in public IMHO. Please do not try to stifle it.
