Quoting Florence Devouard <Anthere9(a)yahoo.com>om>:

Second, I think that if you guys, for whatever reasons, decide that one
board member you elected is really really really wrong, you have the
power to make his life a misery. You really do :-)
And do not forget that board members are volunteers. Without financial
compensation, what they get as benefit is mostly
1) the warm feeling that they are doing the right thing,
2) the public recognition ?
3) "business" connexions ?
Well, you have the power to work on any of these three points if you
really want to :-)
For example, if 500 people start harassing me publicly and says "she is
so stupid, it is a disaster we have such a bad person on the board", I
will not try to stick to the job. I'll resign, no hassle. If only 1
person complains, why should I care ? If 50 people complain, it is
certainly worth listening.
I would hope given that we all have the same goals and our part of the
Wikiprojects overcommunity(metacommunity? What's the right here?) that
expressions of displeasure would come in a more civil and productive form.
