Tomas, it is important to include the lines such as "On <date>, PersonA 
wrote:".
Reading above, I have to search through the e-mail to figure out who are 
the two people you quote.

In order to get a distribution fully translated, you do not need to have 
a 100% translation at the GNOME stats. GNOME includes packages that may 
or may not be included in a distribution. I think it has already been 
explained. Therefore, there should be no conspiracy with a 25% fall 
between 2.10 to 2.14.

I think Christian captured the debate in his e-mail very well, and it 
looks that this is where we stand.

Reading the most recent e-mail by Mohammad, I see that he is still 
maintaining an aggressive stance.
I would suggest that if he apologises, post the translations to Bugzilla 
(like Zabeeh did), things might move on.
I am skeptical that such a change of behaviour can occur, however I wish 
I am proven wrong.

Andre, in an earlier e-mail reminded us of the GNOME Code of Conduct,
http://live.gnome.org/CodeOfConduct

I copy a part of it:

   * Be respectful and considerate:
         o Disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour or personal
           attacks. Remember that a community where people feel
           uncomfortable is not a productive one.


         Applies to

   *

     GNOME Bugzilla <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/>

   *

     GNOME mailing lists <http://mail.gnome.org/>

         o Individuals who signed at
           http://live.gnome.org/CodeOfConduct/Signatures

A step to the right direction would be to sign up on 
http://live.gnome.org/CodeOfConduct/Signatures and show explicitly that 
we abide by the GNOME Code of Conduct.
