Dude, if you want to question other people's actions, you need to expect your own to be questioned likewise. Quitting is Herbert's prerogative, and his ability to resign for whatever reason he thinks is appropriate is an essential part of the character of the project. That you think it's appropriate to mock Herbert for that, but inappropriate to question what you're trying to achieve in making fun of him of his leaving is disappointing, that you think any of this has been "flaming" is just silly. > Ooh, I love where this is going, now I get to feel guilty for Xu's > departure! :D Ludicrous... Well, if you think it's ludicrous, clearly it must be so. But hey, at least typing "Xu's departure!" still brings out that big grin you're known for.
