FOP community, if you think I drifted out of line lately, please set me straight. Vincent's voice is only one. I know this scene here is ugly and nobody wants to waste his precious free time on participating in fights between two people. The fight also doesn't help the project at all. Quite the opposite. In the case of Avalon...... Anyway, I keep finding myself in confrontations with team members from time to time. At this time, I'm seriously questioning myself and I'm not sure if that's just me and my thick head, if I care too much about the project, or if I simply have more attack area because I'm one of the most active people here. Some hints would be great (on- or off-list). Please be frank. Thanks and my apologies for the ugly scene!
I have the utmost respect for both Jeremias and Vincent. Both have put a lot into the project over the years. Both are clever people, hard working individuals. I know them both and think they are both great people.
Over my years as a Software Engineer I have noticed that everyone has a very different style of developing code. Sometimes people critise my coding style and it annoys me. Sometimes I see a coding style I don't like. It's a fact of life. Whatever project you work on. You just have to accept it.
Vincent and Jeremias both have a very different style of programming. Both are very effective at delivering new features. Neither is wrong or better than the other. Please try to recognise that you both have a very different style of working and accept that you cannot make the other adopt your style.
Thanks, Chris
