Curt, you are very diplomatic. I've read Shad's note several times. 
Having been involved with this community and project for over ten 
years, and having reviewed Shad's previous messages, and also having 
been involved in other FOSS projects over the years, and knowing who 
is involved in this project, and the calibre of the individuals 
involved, all I can say is that if Shad really wanted to be a mature 
and effective FOSS advocate he would have tried to be diplomatic and 
point out where we have been impolite. Instead, we got self-inflated 
credential-dropping and a "ready, fire, aim" stone-throwing incident. 
I'd guess that if Shad had a good hard look at the credentials of the 
flightgear community of users and developers who have been working 
together effectively for years, he might be a bit embarrassed at 
having jumped the gun.

Shad owes this community an apology.

Jon
