So what changed? > But you guys worship him. Err, no. I don't worship people, and I don't intend to. It's not about liking people, thinking of them as "friend", or "worshipping" them. It's about respect, and about keeping an atmosphere where working on something, and being productive, is still possible. What worries me is that the fact that the fact that there is an "official" procedure to kick someone out now seems to have lowered the barrier to suggesting that. Previously, when there was some social issue between developers, people would try to work out their differences, or -- if that wasn't possible -- find something else to work on instead, so that they didn't have to keep up with the disruptive behaviour anymore. This is a good thing, for it's impossible to like everyone, or even to be likeable to everyone. I know some people who don't like me, and I do also know some people that I personally don't like. Such is life. And in a project the size of Debian, it's normal that there are at least _some_ people that you won't get along with easily. You can ask for those people to get kicked out, but all that will really accomplish, is that you will show the world that you can't be bothered to even try to get along with people. And with "the world", I really mean "the world". > It's like I've always said, you guys are going to distroy yourselves.
