Choose your own response here: #1 if [by some fluke of mao] you're not being your usual sarcastic, condescending, and socially-inept self, and #2 if you're being your usual sarcastic, condescending, socially-inept self. #1. That's great! #2. It may not improve your interest in contributing -- which you appear to believe is the only way of improving the quality of contributions overall -- but it had a small chance of improving the interaction between you and the other Lilypond developers, which had a small chance of improving the flow of contributions into Lilypond, which had a small chance of improving the overall base code. > Having my chains yanked is not something I deal with gracefully. Funny... I'm still waiting to see one thing that you *do* deal with gracefully. > There is no shortage of them: they are easier to recruit than coders. I'd rather have a civil community built around an excellent but slightly-defective and slowly-improving Lilypond than an uncivil bitchfest built around an excellent but only-slightly-less-defective and slight-more-quickly-improving Lilypond, which is what you are in danger of fostering.
