Peter, take this unprofessional, personal crap off-list. Mike's anecdote of hostility is not an isolated one. Just today, a bitcore developer commented on "Peter Todd's ..apocalyptic vision and... negative view on bitcoin" which turned off some other developers from participating more interactively. As I commented on IRC, open source projects are no strangers to people who simultaneously (a) make useful contributions and (b) turn potential contributors away with an abrasive or hostile attitude toward others. It's an unsolved problem in OSS, that I saw for 15+ years in the Linux kernel community. For this list, as Mike suggested on IRC, introducing an openly stated moderation policy may be the one route. -- Jeff Garzik Bitcoin core developer and open source evangelist BitPay, Inc. https://bitpay.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
