There is no justification for calling someone a liar unless you can
prove that they intentionally spread false information.

The wikipedia page on XFree86 certainly suggests that people willing to
contribute were denied CVS access. If you think you know better what
really happened then you should maybe correct this article and cite
sources to back you up.

The point of my last mail was that nothing in Kevin's messages in this
thread justifies your borderline rude behavior. He is not responsible
for whatever grudges you have against other people who may or may not
have promised to contribute to XFree86.
