Regardless of the merit of your arguments, I am sure it would have been more productive to reply to Thorsten & Bastian asking for more information or clarification. :) Whilst this is not the most egregious example, I am not enjoying this recent trend of almost-immediately escalating issues to our mailing lists. As has been pointed out elsewhere, people make mistakes in technical matters and in judgement. Jumping to publically naming and shaming folks is rarely the best solution to these mistakes, irrespective of what one thinks of the importance of an outside image. If one feels hurt or aggrievied by an interaction that might be completely fair and legitimate (!) but the "junk" energy you feel in the moment of dashing out a publical riposte has long-reaching negative effects both on yourself and others that I am certain you do not intend.
