That wasn't an aggressive tone. Here's an aggressive tone: What the hell are you on about? I thought geek was merely a description around here; I wrote tiring, not tiresome, which is quite a different thing (tiring = reducing the energy of; tiresome = boring and irritating); and I tried to make clear that those are not necessarily bugs in the attendees. So I wonder: did my message demotivate you, or had you decided beforehand and now need to find fault to justify that? I find open letters like this demotivating. If you want to continue until we either reach a mutual understanding or flame each other to a well-done crisp, please let's do it off-list.
