I am truly sorry, are there second chances in the Debian Community?
I hope and trust so -- I've had to make use of them more than once ;-)

every criticism we have about another person need to
be expressed in the public forums?
Things certainly can be discussed privately, but (1) not everyone immediately
thinks of that under all circumstances. (And may either (2) consider the
criticism (if it is that) to be so mild it doesn't require private discussion,
or (3) is useful for the entire list, and thus useful to be public rather than
private. (In that situation (3) (or (2)), it would be nice if it were
discussed in private first as an extra element of courtesy, but see (1).
Have a good day!
May I add (4) not everyone immediately thinks (or agrees) that it is not
good
to just include a link without also posting the relevant text from that
link.
I think posting the link with a summary of other relevant information
is sufficient. I respect that opinion of the poster of message #10 of my
bug,
but I don't think I must agree with it. Now I know that's what he expects,
and I will try to remember that in future interactions with him.
All the best,
Chuck
