I don't give a damn about @debian.org addresses and I'm sure Ingo
doesn't either. We don't go around looking for @debian.org addresses
and start to antagonise them. That people with @debian.org addresses
are involved in the mail is just a result of the mail being debian
specific and nearly everyone there has one.

When have you tried to work with me on any project?
Lets look at our last two encounters:
1. I used the BTS to inform you of my intend to prepare an NMU for an
long outstanding bug and you objected and made a flamewar out of it. I
suggested a compromise and you then backed down and fixed the bug
yourself.
2. Before you changed x86_64 to amd64 in dpkg we talked on irc and
I asked you on behalf of several debian-amd64 members not to change
the name. You just changed it anyway, the debian-amd64 team cried out
but you refused to revert the change. In the end the debian-amd64 team
had to get the ctte to overrule you.
Now who is hard to work with?

I'm the first to admit I don't have the best mail phrasing skills. I
also admit I have major problems working with some people and you now
joined the club of "impossible to work with" people making it grow to
3. That is 3 out of about 1000 people.
