I don't. Can someone explain it to me? I've not seen any discussions on 
squeak-dev where people have said or even implied the latter. In 
reality, all of the vocal discussions center around whether to include 
certain changes in The Image (tm) or not. In the context of that 
discussion, comments like "I don't like your idea" are valid because 
part of the decision process needs to be to find out what the majority 
thinks about the validity of the change on the larger scale. That 
doesn't mean that a minority veto should necessarily prevent an idea 
from being integrated but you can't dismiss such comments merely on the 
grounds of not being constructive.

Cheers,
