Not everyone shares the same viewpoint and priorities as you do. +Different opinions and interpretations help the project. +Looking at issues from a different perspective assists development. + +Do not assume malice for things that can be attributed to incompetence. Even if +it is malice, it's rarely good to start with that as initial assumption. + +Stay friendly even if someone acts contrarily.
