Consider the situation from their perspective.  They have work to do in
order for amd64 to enter the archive.  From a certain group of developers,
they face accusations of "stalling"[0], announcements made in apparent
attempts to shame them into action[1], a general resolution designed to
attempt to force them to complete their work, and other disrespectful
behaviour.  No Debian developer should need to tolerate this.  We are all
volunteers, and our purpose in associating with each other is to cooperate.

There is no opposition to the amd64 port, and therefore no enemy in this
situation.  You are attacking your teammates.
