Quick summary: * Criticise does not mean being disrespectful. There's a big difference between "This code does not work" and "This code is junk" * I didn't write the code so i'm not defending "my precious contributions" (again you being aggressive without any need) * Bad words tend not to be forgotten, they accumulate and then i loose a developer when the last drop fills the glass just because you did not want to be respecful with others. BTW i'm still waiting for a patch that applies to git master.
