Have any of you considered that Steven was using hyperbole as a joke? Are some people so overly-sensitized to Steven that they assume the worst and have a knee-jerk reaction criticizing him? The issue began as a light-hearted discussion on IRC. Steven's tone came across as inappropriate in email without context. However, Mark's reply defending RTH was not qualified with "probably", which was an unfortunate omission, IMHO. Encouraging a more collegial tone on the GCC mailinglists is a good goal, but I hope that we don't over-react and create a larger problem.
I hope so too. Steven is also somewhat frustrated by what he (and I, for that matter) see as often over-politicized processes of GCC. I believe this is perfectly understandable given the amount of politics it seems to take to get a significant design change pushed forward in GCC.
