I do *not* want to encourage complaints, but they're inevitable, and, given that, I think it's better to have a separate place in which to discuss them. And civility is important here, too.

I see what you're saying, but it's *because* they weren't able to participate (in a civil way) that they were blocked in the first place.

What if you start with your ideas? :-)
