<p>I was going to raise this concern privately about some requests, so I'm glad Manfred raised it here first.</p>
<p>Only thing I want to add is there's a reason we can reject proposals, and people shouldn't take it personally. <strong>It doesn't necessarily mean your work wasn't worthwhile, it just means you haven't made a good enough case for your work's value</strong>. I've hesitated to reject proposals in the past, but I don't think that's healthy for the system.</p>
<p>In my opinion, no one should hesitate to reject proposals they don't agree with, as long as there's a reasonable reason, and have meaningful discussions after the fact to set things straight. People will learn and adjust with time.</p>
