I'm quite impressed with the logic behind your arguement. I found
it quite swaying.

Quality is not synonymous with bug-free. While bugs are one part, they
is not the largest. Rob was quite correct that both courses of action
are understandable by users so long as the reasons are explained.

I'm so glad to see that you are handling this in an adult manner. It
makes things so much easier for the group as a whole.

That is quite the ultimatum to make. You have effectively undermined
the authority of the project leader (not to mention myself). While
I respect your ideas and do not want you to leave the project, I have
lost all respect for you because of the above and can understand
why removing your account may be necessary. Please reconsider your
choice before Bruce is forced to make a decision on this. This is a
lose-lose situation for both Bruce and the project.

That you for your input.
