I'd like to think I was being a little more polite than the message you give here. I honestly would like to see some genuine reflection on this at some point. Maybe once the normal reflex to be defensive has died down, this can happen in earnest. > If one's not happy with a message, we hit "postpone" or "delete" > instead of "send".

I'm hoping for serious reflection on a general pattern and attitude. No accusations of split personalities or anything, merely an exhortation to really think about why even Andrew's defenders say "I know he's a jerk, but even he doesn't deserve this." For what it's worth, I have an incredible amount of respect for Andrew's technical abilities and his contributions on debian-legal. I'd much rather see him and everyone get along, but something has to change for that to happen. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
