What do you think you achieve by sending this message?
Stephan has already announced his intentions, so I don't suppose you can have any effect on whether or not he does "go away" from java-debian. If you wish to dissuade others from behaving similar to Stephan in some way, then you can be far more effective by encouraging a specified different behaviour (without having a go at Stephen).
I think the main thing achieved by being rude to people in public is to discourage them and everyone reading from volunteering their efforts. In most cases (including in Stephen's case from what I know), the person contributes much good to free software even if you do disagree with some of what s/he does.
There is very rarely much positive gained from insulting people in public, and there are usually better (more effective and having less harmful side effects) ways in any case. I hope that you will consider this in future when you have a bad day.
pjm.
You are right. Sorry. It was stupid.
Anyway i hope that after quiting main Java2 blocker from his position we will have
Java 2, and many different FREE software that bases on it, included in best linux distribution.
And maybe more democratic decision making system will be developed?
