I really was trying not to say anything here, first because I do not
wish to add any fuel to the fire, and secondly because this
conversation did not personally concern me. However, I fail see any
circumstance when a personal conversation is "very much bad form".
Isn't the opposite generally true? I have found that if two people
are having a disagreement, a phone call clears the air much, much
faster than a vague, insincere, public mailing list. Wouldn't you
agree?
Just because something starts in public, doesn't mean it has to end in
public. If I lose my temper and yell at my wife in the middle of the
grocery store, I am certainly not going to take her back there
tomorrow and apologize to her in front of the cashier and the stock
boy. It's none of their business, and it's none of yours either. As
far as I am concerned, this conversation was a disagreement between
Hans and Tim. If they decide they want to resolve their conflicts by
emailing each other privately, Tim calls to apologize to Hans, Hans
calls to apologize to Tim, or the two of them sit down and have a beer
together at ApacheCon and then punch each other in the face, that is
really none of my business.
Let's keep the dev list for discussions about OFBiz development.

Offline? Why? This incident occurred in public, so should be
resolved in public. Private emails, private phone calls, are very
much bad form.
Additionally, if there are internal things(thoughts, circumstances,
etc) that make you(or anyone else) think a certain way, then it's not
correct for you to get upset when the rest of us call you(or whoever)
out about it. We do *not* know what makes other people tick. We can
only see what is *done*.
