Wouldn't initiating an ongoing public discussion to discredit members of 
the Ubuntu community while requiring their silence in response also be a 
form of "bullying"?

It's challenging enough that such disharmony frequents the open source

intentions, and please, let's not require censorship of some community 
members while giving other members free rein.

Let's try to stick to the facts, and apply any suggestions mutually.
