I also want to add that I am not questioning Richard's competence here. If he is following established procedures, precedents and policy that have been set by SEs managemen that is fine, regardless of his degree of familiarity with the Linux/Unix domain, or any other relevant domain. The question is what does an individual or group of individuals do when they consider that to be the problem they face with their proposal, and how do they escalate it to a higher management, so to speak? What are SE company's procedures in this case, or that of the community for that matter?

My question also is not about resolving the issue with U & L's appropriateness for my needs in particular. The U & L issue is there only there for illustration. That entire section can be taken out without the changing the intent of the question. It is only there because as on IT based company there should be people with SE who can understand it. | |

try and reduce the downvotes on a valid question

| Oct 15, 2018 at 2:09 | comment | added | Hovercraft Full Of Eels | I've found that when trying to get a proposal accepted on meta (and in life), it's better to push the positives of your message rather than the negatives. So rather than insult and disparage the moderators (in bold no less), if this were my problem, I'd remove all mention of that, and instead bold text the most important advantages of my proposal. Remember the overall goal of your proposal -- to convince others of its veracity, not to rage against the moderators. Your mileage may vary of course. | |
