Sounds interesting. I don't remember seeing a link to this.

What I've seen doesn't match what you describe.
When someone wants to try a new system, amongst gamers I know,
they set up a game and try it out.
Trying to convert existing campaigns to a different system can be done,
but it's usually not the sort of thing that one would ask a GM to do to an
existing campaign, since most of their work will be for another system. So
people just start a new game to try it out. I don't see that being a
problem - it gets done when a game looks fun to try out.

I don't see people being shouted down for suggesting new ideas. I also
don't see everyone asking for stories. I also don't see a conflict. People
write what they want to write.

Seems like a pretty dramatic and needlessly confrontational metaphor. It's
not like the list doesn't have room for all sorts of contributions.
