I am talking about "accountability".  This means, you don't just elect someone
and then he is dictator and gets to do whatever he wants.  That is not and never
will be KDE.

This is also not an issue of PR versus developers.  This is an issue of
respecting contributors and people with leadership positions acting in the best
interests of KDE.

Nothing in KDE is irreplacable.  I am replaceable, Dirk is replaceable.  So
instead of focusing on personalities we need to focus on the issues.  The issue
here is to what extent the project has legitimacy.

Sure, this is all pretty damn funny as long as your project is not involved,
isn't it?

Reminds me of the fable of the guy who didn't complain when they came for the
homosexuals . . . . ohh, never mind.
