You may be right, I wouldn't know.

Oh come on, this is bull and you know it. I've taken criticism head on,
changed stuff where I've agreed with you and even when I've not, when
there's no major loss of readability. I am not afraid of criticism, I'm
not afraid of being called on lousy code and I'm not afraid of raising
the bar of code quality in LyX.
I've tried three times to get this WorkArea thing sorted out, and each
time I've argued against your ideas, and tried to explain why they won't
work well. Each time you've come up with spurious crap and then just
fallen silent.
I have no problem with you trying to come up with other ways to do
things, but when you persist in doing so, and do not take any board any
of the major problems I point out with those solutions, and still refuse
to take the original change for fear of a single lousy scoped_ptr, and
refuse to look around the final state of the code, and refuse to try out
your "solutions" yourself, that's when we've reached a stalemate.
Did I mention I've actually /tried/ a couple of your ideas ? And they
sucked ? I literally don't know what more I can do.
I steadfastedly refuse to majorly uglify the code based on your whims.
And we all know sometimes you are whimsical.

*cough*. Is that not what I've been doing ? Did you see the length of
the last patch where we reached dead lock ? It's tiny and obvious.
Same goes for the mouse_state patch, each of the "move file here"
patches etc.
At least attempt to approach accuracy in your complaints.

That is your job, I'm just some UI guy, remember ?

You're the one saying "no"

Actually I'm just bored (again)
