...and telling Ben Collins to "take a Valium" after what appeared to be a pretty even-handed message ...calling Joey Hess "jumped up" and being generally rude in response to a justifiably exasperated message about a long-standing problem, which was accompanied by a standing offer to assist any developer with interfacing with debconf ...and stating that you'll "use debconf how [you] please and if that's against the 'pure' view of others [...] then its [sic] just hard luck". The first two being insulting to the developers involved, and the third being insulting to the spirit of cooperation and consensus that the project as a whole depends on. -- - mdz
