Have you contacted any member of the Fedora design team to ask them if
they read my statement in the logs as you are interpreting it here or if
any of them have taken any other issue with it?

Let's not assume there are problems where there are none, and be
productive about this, okay? :) Remember we're to be excellent to each
other - I think we all appreciate issues being raised where they exist
but the Fedora design team is a very friendly, welcoming, fun, and
respectful group of friends and we don't really fit the picture you are
painting here. I do not think they would agree with your take on this.

So maybe let's get back to the issue at hand? And open a new thread on
this if it is truly an issue worth raising? (Although honestly it's
likely better resolved within the design team itself.)

Jóhann's email didn't make the list, so I don't know what else he said,
but I, for one, did not come away with that interpretation. I don't
think it's uncommon, or a bad thing, for teams to have *team leaders*.
And it's not a big secret that you are the design team leader. That
certainly can mean you have more influence on our team decision making,
but again, not necessarily a bad thing, and it doesn't negate the
importance of the anyone else's membership or input in the team.

I agree with you here 100% - fun, welcoming, ninja-friendly, and now
available with pandas! ;)
