Well, let me just say that once a project is within
the incubator, and someone is on the PPMC, things
become very different.

William Rowe's response to him fairly well summed up the issue(s). I have relatively little concern regarding castigating projects for failings, even if the criticism could be expressed more constructively than acerbically.
BUT we do not accept personal attacks, and will not tolerate them on
someone's blog anymore than on a mailing list.

To get very specific, I understand that posting insults on Apache mailing lists is forbidden.

But are you also saying that we expect him to:

no longer post insults regarding any topic on bileblog, or
no longer post insults regarding any Apache project on bileblog, or
no longer post insults regarding any Apache committer on bileblog, or
something else?

In other words, what limitations on his freedom of speech are we requiring?

I have no hesitation at all regarding people and
podlings being removed if they don't get it.

Hopefully, it has been made clear to him that blog entries that in his own words "degenerate into my usual personal insult comfort zone" will not be acceptable from here on out. Since he has the ability to recognize that
tendency in himself, then he should be expected to exercise some
self-control rather than indulge himself.

It would be a sad commentary if he had to be excluded because of an
inability to curtail his self-described "random blathering that serves no particular purpose than ranting for ranting's sake." Most people learn at
least minimally appropriate self-control for their culture in social
situations relatively earler in life than we see them at the ASF. So if the consenus is to have him participate, we will expect the Mentors to take any
remedial action as necessary.
