That is a first - I suppose I can say with confidence that I have tried to be considerate to all opinions, and be extra careful to explain myself on public mailing lists, just so that I am not a "troll" or someone who easily offends. I'm sorry I was obnoxious. I can state my point of view, and argue rationally, but I cannot counter invective. That said, Michael, you are more productive and useful to others around here, than me, right now. Please don't give things up because of me. I am not a part of the picture. I itched and I scratched, but I did not expect this result - at all. I have been inactive with WP for a while (since January), which is why I asked my name to be removed from the blogroll, and Matt did that, and removed my name from the wp.org/about/ page too. I just didn't see the need to make my private decision public before. I felt VERY self-conscious writing the previous email, which is why I explained why what I was writing should not offend support volunteers who spend time at the forums (when I currently don't). That seems to have had the opposite effect. Looks like there is nothing I can say to discuss issues without upsetting someone emotionally. I am currently not worth you stopping work on WP. > And rather than get into a pissing match, That has NEVER been my intention, not in this thread, or any other. Please don't accuse me without first knowing me. >as you've so > pointed out, this is voluntary, consider me done with this issue, this mail > list and consider me done with answering questions in the forums.

You should not discourage volunteers, no matter what you *feel*. Use your reason, not emotions to explain what you think is right, and to get it accepted. Lorelle never exercised rough-shod control. No one did. The period you speak of is from when I was in the business of helping out at the codex. This source of information that many are proud of, that many refer to, was the answer to the dig "wordpress is really cool, but it doesn't have good documentation". Michael -- I have spent more hours (than probably two or three people I shall not name) at work on the Codex that anyone else, including you. Yet, I have never been possessive or protective about this work. I'm sorry you seem to think otherwise about me, Lorelle, and maybe others. > > The obstacles in the forums these days in answering questions is great > enough, to have more put up by some ego trip of what shouldn't be included > in an upgrade page is absurd.

Have you seen my edits to the page (which I made as I said I would in the previous mail)? Do you agree to what's there? If not, how can we improve it?
