Thanks for a nice tasty bikeshed on a technical mailing list. I assume your good faith, and I foresee its consequences. You couldn't employ your NVC skills because you were, quote, in a hurry, end quote. That means, NVC just doesn't work when it's needed. I don't think everyone here has a lot of spare time to mix original thoughts with a dump of meaningless requests and pardons. You want to share how you feel? I don't think it's the right place to do this. Don't ask to ask, just ask, and so on.
