Our "making up for power differentials", their "abandoning civil behavior"... Not sure how I'd define the difference? There's an approach I've seen some people take where they ask "how are we supposed to win without playing underhanded?" Well, maybe you aren't. That's why the right to fork is sacred. Nobody can ever stop you from doing your own thing. It provides an escape hatch; no project disagreement is ever truly urgent, because the worst thing that can happen is that other people don't go along with what you want.
