Thanks for apologising Robert - that is an admirable
quality for open-source participation.

If, by "he", you mean Steven's message, then i think
that you missed the point. I would hope that people
would never ignore the important message that Steven
was expressing. Open-source only works via participation
and constructive contribution, not by denigration.

When we see email threads with titles like this one,
then we all need to try to bring it back to reality
and turn it into something constructive.

Perhaps we should all learn to use the word "you"
with trepidation. Consider using "someone" or
"such people" instead.

Thanks to Steven, Carsten, Stefano, and many others
for being community builders.
