Thank you for the reassurance. But that was fine. Stubbing some toes on the rougher personalities in a community, that is part of the process of figuring out the social context of any project :-) In any case, his initial reaction did prompt me to include a couple of passive aggressive sentence in my reply. I did remove some :-) but temptation was too strong and I left some in. And he picked them up. Combative temperament. When you say "upset", you mean like in the thread that announced the integration of GTDebugger, or was that an example of his baseline? That's an honest question...
