I am certainly not hostile to the GNU project. I love the GNU project
and most people working on it. It is almost like a second family to
me. I don't want to harm my family. I believe in the FSF mission for
Free Software for everybody and try to do my best to get there through
my work on GNU.

That is not exactly what I said. But maybe I explained things in a
confusing way. I certainly listen to Brandon and find his experiences
very helpful.

I believe we did raise the issue a couple of times on the internal
lists and said we felt it would be better to have the discussion in
the open going forward. Which is what we are doing right now.

We are not having a discussion? It seems we really are. I gave my
opinion on how I see GNU governance going forward and what my
experiences and impressions of it from the past were. And you are
sharing your opinion.

I do wish you explained your opinions a bit more though.
Cheers,
