How is it...

That a project team can be willing to complain about lack of action and goals, yet when:

• The former leader made an otherwise insignificant mistake, she got a veritable torrent of flame action from the project mailing list.
• I propose a blueprint that should give us an attainable goal and help us achieve existing goals, I get crickets from the project mailing list.

In fact, the only comment I've had about the blueprint that I've not solicited directly is:

I debated about whether to just quote the words, but the whole thing just *makes* it.

Dear Miss or Mrs Feminist,

This notion you have; of women being capable human beings with the wit and gumption to make individual and independent achievements, and make a difference on a real world level, if only provided the same level of guidance that their brothers take for granted. This horrible notion ultimately undermines the Hollywoodian trope our laziness depends on; that women are delicate flowers who need to dedicate themselves to a man and live vicariously thorough his exploits.

Sincerely,
Traditional Romance Writers Guild of Elkyreallydoesntgiveashit.

PS. Please do enlighten us to your ownership status so we may address you with the correct honorary in future dismissals.
