I agree. This isn't impressing me in the least about either party.
I don't really care anymore. You both are polluting this group and it needs to stop, and stop now. Take it onto your blogs where, if we care, we can read your slings at each other.

Andrew and Amada, I admire your work both when you were working together, and now independently of one another. I am embarrassed for the two of you with your public display. The court of public opinion is not the one to discuss this. It may not seem like poor judgement today to either of you, but you may be thinking much differently a year or two from now. Please, please, please take it off line. You are now at the stage of "virtual shouting". I am waiting for objects to start to fly. It will just get uglier. I hope you and your respective legal counsel will be able to settle this swiftly.
