This was courageous.
I am glad you finally left your silence.

Why ?
Anyone is welcome to go on helping resolving conflicts. Ideally, no one 
should ever reach these two stages. It is also up to you to make it that 
it never happen.
Second, you are also supposed to help build something decent with your 
own ideas. I am not aware that the committee did not listen to you, 
since you said nothing, but complain when I tried to fix some pages. I 
also made comments to your proposal on meta, and you never answered 
these comments. Is not that a bit easy of you to write such a comment ? 
How do you expect things to go on and to improve if you stay silent but 
to criticize ?

Agreed. But right now, there is justification. So are you talking about 
a fluttery future ?

You do not even give time for the puppy to born...

I would tend to say because you ask...
Did you ask ?
But if you want not to have anything to do with that, just say you are 
not interested. If you want to have something to do with arbitration, 
just ask for that.

?
You made a great job on the meta pages. What changed between december 
and january ? Are you just unhappy because the page about monitoring is 
not something some of us seem to agree with ? Is that the problem ?

What is the problem ?

It was the perfect opportunity to get to know him :-)

Yes, she is.

You do not see you in a very positive manner.

If you think other people should be part of it, do you suggested them to 
be ?

I am currently failing to see how I could not be offended by this 
statement, as you provide no justification for such a comment. In any 
cases, you might have noticed that my name was not in the current list.
So, feel free to join if this is the main point stopping you.
If the developpement of such a project shall be impaired by my presence, 
I will certainly stop participating in it. I think I gave my reasons for 
  participating to its development, and those who read them should 
understand the limits it will inherently put.
Did you read what I wrote ?
If so, what is the sense in what you write here ?
Honestly, I do not think you can make such statements without more 
input. At least to me privately. I think that would be fair.

I am sorry you feel so disinchanted
