No, I emailed Rama about this first and he said he was entirely
serious (and added a string of personal attacks). It's actually
verified as his honest view of things. Which suggests he shouldn't be
let near anything to do with any other project, but anyway.

So the question is how much this is the atmosphere on Commons. If so,
it needs urgent outside action, and no two ways about it.
