It has been mentioned before that the communication style including all these snarky and nasty comments is not helpful. It is hardly the first time that your mails have been insulting, as can be researched easily from in the public mailing list archives.

In light of the indignation when advised to keep the tone down a little, it is probable that the mails were never put through the "would I be insulted or hurt if I was the recipient of this?" test, as in "do you want me to throw away my work?" when you literally asked us to throw away our work.

So unlike others, I do not ask you to change your tone, nor your willingness to work with others. Instead, I prefer to do other things instead.

Hth, Johannes
