The place to discuss problems is within the project. Creating new sites that
back-stab (ok I agree there is a way to debate on that site) is just boring.
And despite all its good intentions the talk pages are meant to provoke.
Leave the project and slag it off, it doesn't help anybody, it just shows
the conceit some ppl have for their own opinion. Will they have sysops, i
seriously doubt it.
