It remains an opinion. And just to make it clear, I didn't deny you are the only one with commit access, and therefore you make all the shots. You made a decision, fine, I never said you can't do that. What I said is that you should not use words to imply that your *opinion* is a fact. The fact that you make a decision doesn't make your opinion a fact, and the fact that many people share your opinion doesn't make it a fact either. So, instead of saying: "Just one side being right, and the other side continuing to repeat nonsense without listening." You should say: "Simply a matter of disagreement where the code belongs." -- Felipe Contreras
