Well, that's actually not true :-)

Björns initial proposal that was the base for kicking of the
coordinators stuff explicitly mentioned the possibility of moving
contributors stuff to the forum, that it would be important not to
have a users-only forum to begin with.

I explicitly referred to it in
http://www.mail-archive.com/marketing@global.libreoffice.org/msg05887.html
/ http://www.mail-archive.com/website@global.libreoffice.org/msg08461.html
and as such his thoughts about is important for a successful forum
launch also made their way into the planning page in the wiki:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Forum-planning

So just because you didn't follow the forum-creation process doesn't
mean "that was never mentioned!!!!!". On the contrary, that idea was
part of it from the very start.

But as Björn's mail, also the one from Marc is only thinking about the
possibility to move stuff to the forum.

If contributors in that area don't like that, it will all stay as is.

No reason to "shoot the messenger"
