I feel it quite funny, that you defend your aggressive/offensive replies to me and others, by "I'm speaking for myself, not as a Chair" - IIRC, when I was a chair, my habit of leaving diplomacy behind was one of main reasons for your attacks. Also, rest of Council clearly stated, that in their opinion, *more* of polite and diplomatic tone is required from Chair, than from other people.

When I've fundamentally disagreed with views of rest Councilors (mainly on much more important matters than "diplomacy", but "oh well"), I've stepped down. You keep Your Council position, and, furthermore, you have stepped in chair's shoes. Don't feel surprised, that standards you've demanded from others, are now expected from your side.

I have yet to decide, if your comment about "dropping candidacy for next Council" is more funny, or miserable. Sure - after all, you've dropped your name into hat (what a surprise!) of election for Board of Directors - i.e. body that will have real power (in this case, to be misused, I'm afraid) over things important for Community, including decisions about finances (aka real money) from donations.

Yea, it's really surprising, that you have preferred it over to-be-castrated, no-one-know-what-it's-left-for-nor-want-to-candidate-for-it, AD 2013 Council.

I really need to remind, that literally *NO ONE* want(ed) to become Councilor, until current Council double-submitted for BoD and Council (despite stating earlier, that different people should maintain those positions), + one ex-Maemo contributor, inactive for ~2 years, got exhumated from his IRC "kingdom", to act as "deer", volunteering for useless position, that no one want to touch with a long stick, after moving to Hildon Foundation scheme?
