I can understand getting pieved by the aggresiveness, some of the time,
but in this case, I couldn't see any direct aggresiveness *except* from
him. I do not appreciate reading a list of explitives just because
someone has had a bad time and think they are being dealt with unfairly.
Yes, I've probably made this mistake myself before now, but generally
not in a public mailing list, and certainly not by declaring an entire
group of loosely coupled developers quite so many names (Microsofts
development team excluded here, they knew what they were letting
'emselves in for).
There are better ways to convey ones meaning, in a more positive and
thus more widely read and understood manner. I wonder if he actually
knows any debian developers in real life. The (relatively) few that I
have (had the pleasure to have) met have tended to be very curteous and
polite most of the time.
One day I might actually get round to applying, until then I'll stick
with just the xmms-scrobbler package and my friendly uploader.
Thanks,
