And, to give Jon credit where it deserves, he manages to build communities
and get people involved. 

Many times I (seriously) considered Jon is playing some sophisticated
psychological games - by beeing so 'inpolite' ( to say the least ) 
and unreasonable he can get people who wouldn't give a damn about
the whole issue to become involved and symphatise with Jon's target.

So Centipede people should thank him - he built awarness and support for 
them, while discrediting Maven and making maven commiters look bad,
by association.
