Yes, warning shots prior to sending are fair. I just don't want people
intimidated from going public if they feel they need to. This is an
ASF-wide issue, not just a CXF one.

Hi Glen,
as a last resort this may be a way to go. My advice is to fire a warning
shot before sending to the list. If someone is harrassing you off list
then a correct way of handling this is sending him a mail that you do
not want to communicate with him off list and that you will forward any
future rude mail to the list. Then he can not expect that any further
communication is private.
What do you think?
I do not want to judge what happened between Jeff and you as I do not
know all the details. So I can only ask both of you to try to bring this
back to a normal level.

Folks, if Jeff Genender--or anyone else--is sending any other
committers hateful or harrassing emails behind-the-scenes like what I
got below from him on Friday, feel free to forward the email directly
to the cxf-dev list for all to see. No committer has the right to be
harrassing other committers behind-the-scenes and insisting on
anonymity while doing so.
Further, all charges made behind-the-scenes by Jeff to another
committer can be taken to the dev list, *if* desired by the person
receiving the charge, in order to properly air out and defend himself
against the charge, possibly with the help of other team members.
Contrary to what Jeff is implying below, you are always most welcome
to go public on charges made privately against you if doing so helps
you defend yourself against the charge. You do not need Jeff's
permission to go public on charges he decides to press against you
privately.
Finally, contrary to how he may arrogantly act, Jeff is a mostly
inactive committer on the CXF project, and has no special ranking or
standing on the team compared to any other CXF committer. His ASF
membership does not grant him additional powers to be judging people
behind the scenes or to magically strip people of their
committership. Do not be cowed by his threats, whether implicit or
direct, as I received from him below.
Regards,
Glen
