It is my observation as a third party that there has been a lot of bickering between you two lately (here and in other threads). Can you both please try to make sure your comments are truly constructive?

I don't want to get into details of who I think has been unreasonable when, or lay any kind of blame. I'm just concerned that exchanges like this one worsen the general tone of the mailing list, and I'd like to:

  - make it clear to other observers that there's at least one person
    who hopes this is not the norm for this list

  - make a general reminder that collaborating on the Internet is hard,
    but it's worth spending the extra effort to consider how comments
    will be taken by the intended receiver, as well as others on the
    list

You're free to disagree, of course. And I'm sorry for being somewhat vague. I really want to avoid opening up a specific flamewar, and just make a general call for people to remember to be friendly.

If vger allowed HTML mail, I would link to a picture of a unicorn running across a rainbow.
