Step 1: Abuse your administrative privileges to post a discussion in a place reserved for announcements and marketing material.
Step 2: Actively insult most of the primary contributors to the project.
Step 3: Use misinformation to back up your salient points.
Step 4: Refuse to stop using this misinformation after you get called on it.
Step 5: Insist that "how things are" is different from how things are.
Step 6: Insist that you're saying something different from what you're saying. Ignore it when people call you on it.
Step 7: Accuse the most vocal members of the community of being too meek to voice their opinions.
Step 8: Above all, insist that you have a huge cadre of supporters who are waiting in the wings, but that you don't know who they are because they are afraid to voice their opinions.
Step 9: Pause a moment to note the delicious irony between points 7 and 8.
Step 10: Profit.

Yes, this post is the purest form of irony.

If you don't know what this post is about, my apologies; I don't plan on following up to explain. Please don't ask.

step 11, be upset that "they dont understand your Greatness". Move over to another Open Source project, make room for a new Great person

Now I know where I went so wrong. I tried the hard work method my father told me to use.

Call all the primary contributors "a bunch of cheerleading psychopants."

The front page of Drupal.org is definitely not a good place for people to raise their own questions and concerns. I remember feeling bewildered when seeing that post on the front page, it seemed like some guy was trying to take over or something.

They should create a co-op together :)

The word you're looking for is 'sycophant.'

'Psychophant! appears to be a Freudian portmanteau.

Oh, the insinuendo of it all! ;-)

So this is Linux of the web?
