The fact that you don't understand, don't agree with, or don't like
someone doesn't justify to be rude. I think this kind of remark has no
way to be constructive. Not only it cannot help reaching a consensus,
but it could be offending and start a dispute.

Something is happening in Wikipedia that is new and rare in the history
of mankind: community decisions through global consensus at a huge
scale. We have the responsibility to make this model work, because I
think it is seen, and will be seen more and more in this 21st century,
as a proof-experiment of whether humans can govern themselves without
the traditional authoritarian leadership, at least under certain
conditions.

Our discussions in this mailing-list must be succesful, and this means
keeping the tolerance and patience high and the agressivity low. For the
same reason, it is my opinion that we must be bold about keeping the
power of decisions in the hands of the community. Our goal is one of the
noblest I have ever felt with my mind: let's forget the anger and other
futile acts of our egos, and keep focused on what is at stake.
