I'll comment that I've been rather pointed in trying to focus on
constructive input, SPECIFICALLY because this group/list has been showing a
serious desire to be serious and focussed.

That is, there is a dominant tone of wanting to do constructive work.

Alas, that has not prevented SOME participants from indulging in their
usual bashing. It's distracting and highly counterproductive, but it HAS
been happening.

The reference to 'bashing' is not about disagreement, but rather a tone of
focusing on criticizing a group or person, rather than focusing on the
content this group was established to pursue. Disagreements are not only
natural, they are healthy.
