this community thinks that its power structures allow to tromp onto other
people
I do not think the community thinks that way.
It doesn't think so inherently, but it lacks some useful habits.
Members of the community can
make mistake and staff members of WMF can make mistakes, I think that both
that community and WMF are grown up enough to correct mistakes if they
arise. Certainly inside the community are many critical people who watch
these kind of things carefully and do correct those things when a mistake
is made.
The German community did collaborate, did communicate. Having a voting is a
desperate way of getting the attention of the big problems WMF has too
little insight in apparently. The community does not think in power
structures, WMF does.
