I think you've done a really terrific job Rob -- somebody had to step up and you've taken care of things that could easily have doomed the site. I don't think that can be stated enough.
I would really, really encourage you to avoid jumping to the above conclusion, though, when people voice different points of view. For two reasons:
1. It feels incredibly patronizing, and a little bit arrogant, to have thoughtful feedback written off as "oh it's just somebody who can't handle change." It's dismissive, and it erodes community rather than building it.
2. It's inaccurate! There are all kinds of reasons somebody might disagree with a decision you make. This is the nature of being a leader. If you want to ignore concerns from people who disagree with you, that's your call -- and as the guy who's actually getting shit done, you're entitled! -- but there are a lot of practical, operational benefits to hearing people out, especially when they disagree with you.
This has come up a few times now. I hope you'll consider what I'm saying here seriously. I write this in good faith, with respect for what you've accomplished, and because I'd like things to continue to prosper here. Cheers.
