Have any of you considered that Steven was using hyperbole as a
joke? Are some people so overly-sensitized to Steven that they assume the
worst and have a knee-jerk reaction criticizing him?
The issue began as a light-hearted discussion on IRC. Steven's
tone came across as inappropriate in email without context. However,
Mark's reply defending RTH was not qualified with "probably", which was an
unfortunate omission, IMHO.
Encouraging a more collegial tone on the GCC mailinglists is a
good goal, but I hope that we don't over-react and create a larger
problem.
