Obviously I don't think that he is trying to discourage participation
explicitly, however there are a number of issues where Toad is on the side
of the argument which makes participation more difficult, such as the
current situation where nobody but Toad can conveniently update the website.

And obviously he doesn't believe these things because he is acting in bad
faith, he just places a lower priority on ease of participation than I do
relative to other concerns.

As for discussion list culture, there is nothing wrong with debates where
there is genuine disagreement, and the only "name-calling" I recall is
calling Matthew "Toad", and he doesn't seem to mind this.

I may be more concise in my discussions with Toad because he and I have
worked together for long enough that we can dispense with the niceties.
 You'll notice that I'm a lot nicer to new people.

Ian.
