[governance] IGC profile: some handfuls of people and a curmudgeon?

[Avri Doria]

hi,

i felt that Michael was attacking.  It was a yearly attack and then nothing is contributed to make anything any different.

And i felt that you joined him.  

Though my questions about you data and others I can think of on your methodology which was not covered, are reasonable scientific things to ask about before one looks at results ad starts to take them seriously.  I love to see the paper where the methodology is explained.  Using the data to make a point without the science is somewhat empty.

So i wasn't t being defensive, and in fact often consider 'the ' don't be so defensive' to be the passive aggressive response to being questioned (that was the MA in counseling psychology speaking, please forgive me, she escapes every once in a while)

So, I was responding.
None of it is my responsibility except for any individual action i may or may not take to work with the IGC in reaching its goals, and i have no reason to be defensive.  But as a member of the group, I will question.

I would love to see this group work on more and to have more contributors.  But I do believe it is the individual and collective responsibility of the members of the group to make it happen.  Accusing some amorphous list of being inadequate, is frankly speaking from my point of view, inadequate.  If people want the IGC to change, they need to work on it, not complain about it.  and what we seem to have is a few people who occasionally pop up, complain and then disappear again until their favorite cue for complaining comes up again.
