Thank you, but despite your condescending tone I retain the right to interpret who expresses sympathy for me, and who does not. In this discussion, Russ sought to minimize the effect of warnings. That denied the effect it had on me. It was the opposite of empathy—and by extension sympathy. > Either you're playing this up willfully, or you have a genuine problem > understanding that *not* all such discussions are attacks targeting > you. Right now I can't tell which is more likely. I do not appreciate your style here, either. In fact, I find you excessively personal and intimidating. Please note that you have occupied many roles in Debian, and continue to occupy a role [1] that gives you disciplinary power over me. > Please *stop* and think about what you're saying and doing here. Thank you, but despite your insinuations of my incompetence, I am qualified to express a mature and educated perspective. I am 49-year old married man with a family. In school, had seven years of Latin, two years of Ancient Greek, won a scholarship from the German President Richard von Weizsäcker and graduated from Harvard University. In addition to my business endeavors, I serve in my ninth year in public service (as a library commissioner). I have lived in five countries, including China and two years in what might be your native Britain. Please afford me the same capacity that you grant to yourself. Thanks!
