It's sad to see the Monastery divided, but the real tragedy is having a contributing Monk quit the Monastery.

I agree with many of Ozymandias's points. But dressing down a fellow Monk for suggesting and defending ideas hardly fosters the comraderie and PM environment we all enjoy. That same comeraderie is a result of many smart people who often disagree, but who do so respectfully.

I may have missed related Chatterbox discussion, but in reviewing the entire thread, I find nothing demanding, insulting, or abusive in Abigail's posts. Persistant, yes, but most folks are when defending their ideas. If her ideas truly are without merit, there's little danger of vroom implementing them - he wants what's best for the Monastery.
