I'm unsure of either aspect, so I'm now trying to estimate.

That wasn't an aggressive tone. Here's an aggressive tone: What the
hell are you on about? I thought geek was merely a description around
here; I wrote tiring, not tiresome, which is quite a different thing
(tiring = reducing the energy of; tiresome = boring and irritating);
and I tried to make clear that those are not necessarily bugs in the
attendees. So I wonder: did my message demotivate you, or had you
decided beforehand and now need to find fault to justify that?
I find open letters like this demotivating. If you want to continue
until we either reach a mutual understanding or flame each other to a
well-done crisp, please let's do it off-list.
Thanks,
