Aside from the package question, surely the other issue here is that
Prof Ripley’s email is extraordinarily rude. Any paid employee would
be sacked for that. I appreciate R and CRAN are volunteer-run
organisations, but I don’t think that should be an excuse for this
level of, frankly, toxicity. Why is he allowed to get away with it?

I've just had a look at the initial posting in this thread
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2023q4/009810.html
and can see nothing rude or offensive in the email from Prof. Ripley
that was copied and pasted into that posting.
I find *your* email far more offensive than anything that Prof. Ripley
has ever written. Get a life.
cheers,

Hi, David:
You do, of course, know that "Ripley" is a verb? People on this list
take pride in how many times they've been Ripleyed ;-)
I've been in the military, and I've learned to ignore the tone and
look for the value in comments I receive. I've learned a lot from
Professor Ripley, and others. When the tone seemed less supportive or
even insulting, I'm very glad the person took the time to comment and
didn't decide not to reply for fear of offending me. I'm more productive
and a better human for all the help I've gotten from this and other
R-related lists.
