The Drupal site was NOT our vision. 
It was based on an earlier decision by the SC itself.

What has changed from the last decision to warrant a complete turn around?

And regarding the "dictatorial" behavior, consider your sentences-
1. Who the hell are you anyway?
2. What part of that don't you understand? 

They are not exactly the shining examples of the customary European politeness.
Imperious at best, dictatorial at worst.

Again, we were working according to SC's past decisions, not our own.
So what's wrong in questing that sudden change of mind?

But surely we can question arbitrary (=dictatorial) decisions, and expect a POLITE answer?
