Hoi!
We are quite capable to say what we have to say.
Sometimes I feel we are not :) I get the recurrent impression that whatever we say
both sides just hit the "reply" button and copy back what they had said
before...
So, for all who are blind/deaf: I have said it and will repeat it all over again: no
consensus = no nothing. We will not go and impose a new script on a place where a civil
war just ended simply to make the nerves of a couples of extremists happier. If and when
there is a clear signal that the communities as a whole are in favor of the merge we can
start to talk about tech details.
This "clear signal" includes stopping idiot mumbling about why any of the two
sides has no right to exist and how you are going to tell the teacher that my mom was a
nazist/communist if we don't buy you candies. We all have been kids and we all know
what blackmailing is. Well, it won't work.
Just as it won't work hiding behind someone else and shouting "see? I told you
you'd be punished!" (this one's for Mark, in case it's not clear). Since
lots of people behave as 4 y.o. kids, I'll try the language lil' babies usually
understand.
IS THAT CLEAR NOW? Or should we publish it in a multimedia hyerogliphic text with the
Bangles playing underneath??
Now I switch my waiting mode on and keep waiting for a message beginning with:
"My constructive position is <add MO-RO ideological crap here>".

Mark,
It is not helpful if you
repeat after us. You make it seem as if we agree with a side in this affair.
We have not considered if we would accept it as a new project. What is at
issue here is very much that the mo.wikipedia is an existing project, there
are some people who care for it and the arguments used for its closure are
not really acceptable.
The optimal solution from our pov is that the mo.wikipedia is cleaned up and
that the data of both ro and mo are merged. The first step for this to
happen is to coexist peacefully. Your behaviour does not help.
There is the option of a transliteration engine. This is however not
available at this time. Optimally it should allow for round trip conversion.
Thanks,
Gerard

Perhaps you have not been following this list.
Do you think Gerard or Bèrto really care who it is making these
arguments? To them, you and Liviu may as well be the same person
because you are saying the same things. Over and over.
They have said over and over that the position that they have already
described is FINAL. They did not "misunderstand" anything, they did
not miss any of the facts or the evidence.
Just because they do not agree with your personal interpretation of
reality does not mean they need you to "tell them the facts". They
have already heard what you have to say, and it has already been
evaluated. Many times.
The suggestion was, originally made to Liviu: Go to ro.wp and start a
poll there about adding an option to convert to Cyrillic. In the mean
time, stop complaining. Their idea is that eventually such an option
MIGHT exist, but only if ro.wp community successfully integrates it of
its own free will, NOT on the decision of some random single user.
If you can get the majority of Ro.wp'ians to agree to a converter in
the style of sr.wp (meaning that content may be edited and added in
Cyrillic as well), then this discussion may proceed. If you cannot, it
is over.
Nobody wants to hear any of this anymore. Haven't you understood that by
now?

Concerning your invitation to work, which is
insulting:
1. Don't you working guys have civility rules around
here any more?
2. Does your work consist in giving uncivil answers to
messages you didn't read, sent by a user that did not
send messages on this forum in the last 3 months?
Because both you and GerardM answered my message
without reading it. Or, if you read it, it may be
useful to interrupt working for thinking a bit.

Hoi!
My constructive position
So... It was told
to Liviu, it gets told to YOU. It
will be duly copied to
all of you, as an auto answer.
1) WHO of you spammers has found the time to call up
a regular vote on
RO.wiki on becoming fully bilingual and giving
warranties of acceptance of
articles by the Transdnistrian minority?
2) Who of you will prove clever enough to do that
BEFORE littering our
mailboxes with your carnival?
Until you answer to that ANY Moldavian position (pro
Cyrillic/anti-cyrillic/Acyrillic or whatever) will
be just low quality
toilet paper for my house. Or do you guys seriously
think that we want to
start a big internal war in RO.wiki just to please a
couple of hysterical
kids?
You want to make a change in someone else's house.
You go there and ask the
landlord for permission, before coming up here with
your emotional scenes.
It's called "respect" and "private property" in case
you aren't familiar
with the terms.
All the tears in the universe won't make a
difference. GO TO WORK! No work,
no consideration.
