Re: FW: Reaction project announcement

Hello all!

In general, whenever substantive criticism is made of ideas about policy in,
or purpose of, React OS, it¹s important that we all know the speaker¹s role
in the project.

There should never be a problem with voicing constructive criticism of the
ideas of others.  On the other hand, it helps to add context when we know
the speaker¹s role.  The meaning of any statement varies depending on
whether the speaker is in a position making policy.  I know that projects
such as React OS are supposed to be somewhat democratic but, as someone else
aptly pointed out, it¹s hard to avoid politics.

Regards,

David
