It is not structured as a membership organization (after all, every human being is technically a member), it is but a single part of the Wikimedia movement.

Listening, as in doing what *the people that I agree with* would like you to do." Personally, I agree with your position against monetizing any part of our services. I'm pleasantly surprised that some people that I thought would agree with me are at least open to the theory, it makes for very interesting discussion. I do not think that making threats on behalf of everyone, when it's clear that we are not all in agreement, is useful at all, particularly when they are toothless.
