Thanks for trying to calm things down, I honestly can't see why CofE got such a bee in his bonnet over this, and quite frankly, I am done pandering to him.
We had a debate here, and most of the core developers indicated their preference - the majority opinion was absolutely clear. While we should always take everyone's opinions into account, and I certainly listened carefully to CofE's arguments, but I find myself being increasingly irritated by the fact that he seems to feel that his opinion is more important than that of most of the core developer's combined. If he doesn't agree with us, he is free to continue to make his arguments, but his threats to shut down his freesite if we don't comply with his opinion do not help his argument one little bit. I frequently back down on issues where I see that a majority of people disagree with me - simply because I don't think that I am smarter than everyone else here, CofE should learn to do the same.
