I'm deeply offended by the fact that would think that I'm purposely intent on provoking people, or disrupting more important discussions.

I understand how my style of communication can upset people, mainly because people are not used to frankness. But I thought you of all people would see how much effort I've put into so many areas of Git, and therefore that my primary objective is to improve Git, not offend people. That you would understand that me offending people is a side-effect of me trying to improve Git, not that I improve Git just so I can offend people.

I understand why you would choose not to reply to some mails that might be too flammable, or unimportant, or difficult. But in this case, the culmination of countless hours of work, what I had in mind since the beginning; that the tools graduate into the core, was finally there, and you took it away. And then you didn't give an explanation, and then you ignored me.

I thought you would understand that most of the code that arrived to the mailing list had different versions behind, experiments, discussion in different channels, tests, and that was the reason why most of the code I submitted to remote-hg and remote-bzr simply worked, and it was simple. And why when other people did the same, the results were not so satisfactory.

But no, apparently you didn't value my work at all. Maybe you thought each line I sent took me the time it takes to write a tweet, maybe you thought because it's in Python even kids in primary school could write it.

In fact it's worth so little to you that it's not even worth the time to respond *one* question, not even in consideration of all these years of effort.

And then you have the nerve to call me a troll on top of that?

I'm done with you. Consider the bridge burned.

Good bye.
