I don't think it's off-topic. Consensus (rough or otherwise) requires
that at some point people can live with decisions with
which they disagree. To the extent that we've seen recent misbehavior
on this list, it's from only one person who's rejecting the consensus
and rejecting the process. It's really annoying but I don't think
it's particularly disruptive. If it becomes disruptive, there's a
rarely-used hammer: the PR action.
I agree. Whatever misbehaviour Melinda means hasn't troubled me;
it must be a user or a thread that I filter to junk.
Disagreement is fine as long as people in the end understand
when they're in the rough and not in the consensus.
There are times when this list annoys me too, but it is far from
a failure IMHO.
