OK. Since you obviously can't grasp it yourself, I'll provide the explanation. In your original email to the list, you asked if it wouldn't be better to make a specific change, which you qualified by "Im not entirely savvy in this area, but it would seem like something that would be better to have across the board." No problems there. Totally reasonable thing to ask, especially for someone not so familiar with the tag specifications as you said you are. However, those four little letters "TLDR" established you not as a less experienced person simply asking a question but as a jackass who is wasting everyone's time by commenting on a spec that he couldn't be bothered to read that deals with metadata specifications that he already admitted he's not savvy about. That you then followed this up with a direct command (no "wouldn't it be better" or "I suggest" in it) that doesn't actually help or contribute to the specification (and in fact is flat-out wrong) makes it all the more irritating. I've spent a lot of time getting various people together from all sorts of projects to work on this, as well as spent a lot of time writing the first two drafts. So excuse me if I ask a jackass (see above) with nothing to contribute (which will be explained in my response to Philipp's email) to stay out of the discussion. "Fuck you" was classy, though. Real classy. --Jeff
