(1) Statements were made that were not factually correct. (2) People were directly insulted. (3) "Conversely, Sage is constantly evolving, and earlier decisions that were made in good faith may sometimes need to be reconsidered. Nonetheless, we should still appreciate the hard work done in the past." The thread that the quotes were from are an example where the design discussions were done in private. It was *not* a pleasant experience for the people who at the end fixed the bug. I thought that sage-devel was there for discussions about the code, design discussions etc.. The discussions seemed to suppress that aspect completely, which I find very unfortunate. As William said, one option is to just move the actual design discussions to a private forum where contributions are constructive rather than counter-productive.
