The -1 is a last action that should be taken. You tossed it out in a
very cavalier fashion. What you're saying above describes discussing
with Oleg to fix the problem. But that's not what you did. You're
right, Oleg checking in a bunch of JARs is not a big deal. Using a
-1 one is a big so your sentiment doesn't match up with your action.
We've had this discussion before, and we have different opinions about
when it is appropriate to cast such a vote.
I'm pretty sure anyone that has interacted with me over the last 5 1/2
years here knows I'm not the kind of person that goes around bullying
people. You're blowing it out of proportion unnecessarily.
My argument is predicated on a proper use of veto power when one is
involved. You are currently not really involved and as such I think
discussing it with Oleg is a more appropriate first action. You used
the most extreme form disagreement as your first move. Not a great
dialog starter.
So you're mail was intended to prove your point then? :)
I was hasty in the first mail, though I thought I was polite and clear
enough. I've eventually sent the follow up that I intended, and I'm
happy to help resolve the problem before withdrawing the -1. The
system works!
You vetoed while he's in the middle of trying to do a release.
I didn't veto anything to do with the already rolled release, and
voted in favour.
