Bill, Thanks very much. In the end I realized I over reacted, and the right thing was to take it down. I also appreciate where things are right now, i.e. in a better conversation.
One of the things Dick said about this (paraphrasing) was that it might have been different if I had a better experience with the community. After following Java Posse discussions for a while now I agree that's the case. It can sometimes be difficult to identify business/political motivations in technical discussions, and I think Dick also was right to say some folks posting to the list were just trying to score political points. I would say this was what triggered my over-reaction. One thing I would like to say in terms of a comment on this topic is that I think everyone recognizes the goals of Jigsaw as being valid, and I don't blame anyone for being a fan of Jigsaw. But many of its goals have already been achieved in OSGi, and I would hope that the Jigsaw fans can understand why those of us who had invested in OSGi before Jigsaw was started raise the question of why OSGi was not used as the starting point. I know that the Jigsaw folks replied to these points, but I think it's also understandable to question the replies, given the historical rivalry of Sun vs IBM over the future of Java, and the use of OSGi in Eclipse.
