[p2p-research] moratorium on conflict debate

[Maja van der Velden]

Hi all,

I agree with this proposal. What often happens when such conflicts  
continue is that people retreat, even unscribe, from the list in order  
to be released from the conflict. That would really harm P2P work. It  
is time for a cooling off period followed by some thinking and  
discussion off-list.

Greetings,

Maja
