Obviously we disagree on reading of this paragraph,
 because in my mind I did not do anything to violate it.

I respect DFSG as much as you are - otherwise I wouldn't be here.

I must point out that I probably missed in "adequate explanation" how exactly 
I'm violating DFSG #2. Are you sure I'm not violating your reading of it?
Or is there something is hidden between the lines?

I'm not blaming you for changing your mind. (I think you don't even need a 
reason to change your mind)

However you failed to clearly articulate the requirements you imposed on me 
before taking action, neither were you willing to discuss the possible 
solutions.

Regards,
Dmitry.
