First, it costs them nothing but their pride, and will benefit debian, and also benefit them, since they have trouble finding a replacement powerpc porter with enough time and interest in the most obscure subarches. I am happy to let Colin Watson handle the main stuff, and wear the powerpc porter hat and all, but i hardly see what the benefit can be for me to bug Colin or others each time there is some breakage. It will only agravate this problem, since it will have more chance of me making posts that they will consider annoying, and bash me for. Second, Frans has personally hurt me in the way he did this. He chose the moment to kick me out, while i was at my mother's sick bed, while i asked him in personal email to not bash on me because i really didn't need it (it was just after my mother almost died), and he goes on and remove the svn commit within hours of this. He and others of the d-i team, have also had very bashing and un-nice, or even aggresive, behaviour against me, since over a year now. I don't mention this in the above, and will let this be, provided they don't repeat such behaviour in the future. This is what my part of the compromise, and i believe again that it hardly seems something that can be refused ethically. Third, i say i will make every effort to take care of the problem with the way i communicate on mailing lists, though without falling in a sub-DD without right to critic bad technical choices position. <offtopic> Some thoughts about email conversation ... Here i am having a public discussion with Mike. He says something, and i reply, we are having a discussion. It is normal that this brings longer threads, and even if more than just we two participate. Still, this is exactly what some people seems to find anoying and are even offended by. So, where is the limit, is the analogy of a mailing list to a public discussion valid ? Or are there some other rules to follow ? </offtopic> Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
