I don't veto the change. I requested that you stop further (!)
updates in PSLM. And it was a polite request, not a demand.

So you would choose to make my work deliberately harder, while you
continue to do things that don't really bring FOP forward, right?

"shut down all your work". Aha. I was requesting that you temporarily
chose a different work area. Requesting, not demanding. You can say no.
That's legitimate. I simply pointed out what it means for my work.

You're putting other constraints on other team members through your

my brain simply to avoid trouble.

Yeah, with the Damocle's sword hanging over my head as soon as I
accidently overwrite something you've done.

I'm tired of your games, Glen.
