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.
