In my opinion this particular brouhaha got started as a result of a) The EnterpriseDB posting, and b) the fact that the person approving press release postings works for EnterpriseDB. Obviously the perspectives of those who work for EnterpriseDB are different than the perspectives of those who work for CMD, and those are even different than the perspectives of people like me who don't work for any consulting firm. I know, I probably just nominated myself for the "Longest DUH scentence of the year", but it's important to keep this in mind because I'm sure that people in the community, who have their own perspectives, would have similar perspectives to those working for EnterpriseDB, if they were working for EnterpriseDB. ($10 to the first person who can use "perspective" and "EnterpriseDB" more times than I did in one scentence!) Bashing someone over the head with a verbal shard, or making comments with condascending or sharp overtones doesn't help anybody, even though we're all guilty of it. Technical people like us usually are. Instead, try to put yourself in the other person's shoes and say something like, "I know with your marketing expertise it makes sense to do X, but here's where X harms the community. If you could consider doing Y instead, that would help you in these ways..." Furthermore, comments like "Face it, Momjian, you don't hold the sway you used to, nor will you ever again. Back off." If Momjian is indeed loosing sway - perhaps because he's bolted himself down - then he probably knows it and nothing is solved by rubbing his nose in it. If Momjian is still swaying with great berth (perhaps because he's in a tornado), then the utterer of such a statement appears to be a fool. The more cohesive we appear as a community, able to solve our disagreements quickly and with eloquence, the better it is for us (and the more we can laugh at things like MySQL closing their Enterprisey Source)...
