That's fine for you. But it doesn't mean that other DDs or non-DDs
experienced a different side of James.

And there are many others that actually have those problems and I don't
think it's their fault, when James can't differ personal dislikes and duties
of his job as being in a role position.

You're totally ignore that most of the people that are pissed off by the
non-communication by James (& others) now tried to communicate with him in
prior times with all given respect and politeness.
The ongoing complaints from different and steadily growing number of persons
having problems with James & others should be a clear sign to act now and
not to either hide or simply ignore this problem.
Ignoring this will make DDs and non-DDs to drop their work for Debian. Is
this really what you want?
