As an innocent bystander of the flamewar that spawned this email:
Nicola commented on some technical changes, it started deteriorating into shed painting, Nicola posted an email on de-escalating conflict in technical discussions, then Stephen attacked Nicola directly for some as-yet-unspecified ("you know why, Nicola") historical reason that Nicola is not allowed to suggest ways to de-escalate conflict.
Actually - what I said was that
"Nicola is 100% familiar with the reasons why he is the last person on the planet to assume any authority on [the subject of deescalation]"
I would call that more of an "observation" rather than an "attack". I'm confident Nicola understands and appreciates that distinction.
Cheers, Steve.
