I've received private comments that suggested me to avoid doing those little asskicks of mine in public. Sometimes I do them privately, sometimes I do them publicly, mostly depends on who the person is.
Nicola is a guy I highly respect. The more I respect you, the more I think you can handle public things. I consider your ego to be an obstacle to your work (and a big obstacle for women entering any male-polarized community!) and I'll do whatever I can to let you understand this.
A private message would have helped Nicola, but wouldn't have helped you understanding me and wouldn't have helped you understanding that Nicola recognized his action and put his ego on a side, earning back the respect that his last action had a little diluted.
The intention of my public email was to give Nicola the chance to earn back his respect and to show you all that he deserves yours, no matter what silly 'faux-pas' he or you do.
Remember: you should be happier when somebody proves or shows you wrong rather than right, because then the only time you get to learn something you didn't know before.
Cocoon is a community of people first, and a software project later. And I realize this by how many times I've been proven wrong, or my personal random thoughts have been shaped into rock-solid design built to last.
A little ego is a powerful fuel for innovation, but too much will blind your ability to see your mistakes, thus slowing down your possibility to learn from others and improve yourself.
Food for thoughts.
