Folks,
I have just spent some time reviewing the List's archives for the past several months, and it is clear something is changing and not for the good. The dialogues have become more combative, argumentative and downright mean. The individual contributions have become more aggressive, intolerant, patronizing, bullying, insulting, and downright mean. There has been a steady decline in fairness, civility and just plain listening.
Also, it appears that the majority of the Members of this List are willing to scrutinize anyone or anything but themselves.
What's going on?

Well, as far as I can tell from what I've seen on-wiki since I signed up in March 04, the mailing list is a reasonably accurate picture of the direction the project as a whole is going.
