A few clarifications/comments based upon what people have said: 1) These quotes are examples of his destructive behavior. One can find plenty more in the mailing lists. The ones I supplied here are the ones that made *me* decide to take action. 2) Yes, I have tried talking to him. After a number of blowups on the debian-kernel list, myself and a number of kernel team members have talked to him to calm him down (and in some cases getting him to apologize). The behavior he displays happens repeatedly, despite warnings and requests that he behave himself. The rest of the IRC log from when he threatened Jonas is basically me attempting to show Sven how destructive his behavior is. The fact that, a week later, he continues w/ this behavior (after years of doing the same thing) is why you're seeing this request. 3) If he was in the NM queue, and you were his AM, would you accept him after seeing how he behaves? If not, why is that so different from kicking him out of the project (other than asking that he be banned from the lists, but this is a request of the list masters, not the DAM)? In that regards, I have a wonderful quote from Sven: "I am not in the AM queue, so i can be as rude as i want." [0] I presume he meant the NM queue.
