Oh, i did count 3 days since thursday, and was making reasonable efforts to
abide by this and be nice. This current mess happened, because it was clear
that Frans would not recognize ever any effort i make, and even if he accepted
me, this left him in a situation, where he was superior to me, and any future
disagreement would cause him to eject me again sumarily.
This is the problem with the previous mediation attempt.
And you see, any attempt of me to play nice get fully ignored.

But it put all fault on my side, and even if Aj said earlier that he didn't
agree with how Frans acted, there was none of that in the original proposal,
and it left the situation in the unhealthy mess we are in right now.

I fully reject that. It would have given both me and Frans what they wanted.
Me the ability to work on d-i without being submitted to frans anger and
arbitrary, and them the not having to deal with me, and the fact that i would
not try to discuss strategical d-i issues or be active on the debian-boot
mailing list.
hell even Steve Langasek said that this seemed a fair proposal, yet neither
you nor Anthony even considered it.
Nor have i seen any evidence that you did more than "give Frans what he wants"
in the mediation attempt.

Well. That is really the issue at hand, you where trying to reason with me, so
i accepted this humiliating punishment as sentence, and not trying to mediate.
See cobaco's post to anthony about this and comment about it please.

No, it is entirely your actions which set the stage for this current mess. And
i notice that you don't reply on the questions i asked to you, namely why was
my reasonable compromise not even considered, and why was i not adviced before
hand before the sentence was made public.

Ok, this leaves Anthony, you are not the DPL, so it is ok for you to default
out of this.
But you see that by doing so, there is no recourse for me than what has been
happeneing these past 3 days.
