I concur, the last month has seen a breakdown in the normally friendly
exchanges.
Might I suggest that we look on tomorrow as a new beginning - after all, we all
survived the end of the Mayan calendar :-)
This is open source software - so no one owes anyone any support.
If you want changes then actions speak louder than words, contribute a patch -
even if its not accepted it shows a level of commitment and understanding of
the code base. If you can't write code, then for goodness sake don't approach
those that can/do with anything that could be construed as an expectation of
paid levels of support. For those that do write the code, not every new idea is
bad.
Building a community means taking the long view.
Everyone, please remember; a piece of software is not the mother of your
children, it doesn't need to be defended at all costs.

I too have been saddened by the two flame wars on this list lately. I have
held onto the list because Fossil is super valuable to me and I want to stay
in the loop.
I can only hope that folks will learn to think before hitting reply in the
new year...
