[Foundation-l] How to dismantle a language committee

[Muhammad Alsebaey]

I personally do not care about the nature of Gerard's character, he may be a
very nice person if I meet him in person ( next Wikimania maybe). I am just
refering to the way he conducted himself during the discussions on
languages. And yes, I strongly believe this was aggressive. I won't get into
such details but you can read the other thread.
