Sure, but let me ask you, do you like working with those people who are jerks all the time? AFAICT, Lucene has done a pretty good job of creating something of quality AND doing it in a civil, respectful way, otherwise I just don't think we would still all be here. Why can't we have both? You talk like the only way it is possible to achieve something is by stepping on others.
I would suggest everyone involved remove feelings from all of this and just focus on discussing the pros and cons of the subject at hand without the need to insult each other anytime you disagree. In the end, all involved would likely do better simply by showing their ideas out in code, i.e. _real_ patches.
Your approach is exactly what destroyed the Columbia and their lives - politics over substance.
Please don't compare what we do in a mission non-critical open source project for searching files, databases and other minutiae with the massive tragedy that was Columbia. They are not even close to being on the same level and it is so completely disrespectful to those that lost their lives in that tragedy.
