my point was that while you are going on about others,  your own behaviour may 
well be escaping you. i thought i'd put it gently, but now i'll just say it 
plainly: i think that of those suffering from your so called "arrogant 
developers" syndrome, i'd put you near the very top of the list of the 
afflicted.

not at all. i understand what you are/were saying, but i think you are 
ignoring the real issue: namely that there is no justification for the sort 
of disruption that ensued in the last week on kde-devel. your subsequent 
assertion that KDE is a hostile environment is not true, save for a select 
few who tend to be less than civil, which is a rather small group and which, 
btw, includes yourself.

yes, i get offended when someone decides to kick a self-righteous tirade on a 
development list and then turns around and bad mouths KDE for something that 
occured at least in part due to their own actions. you may as well be pissing 
on my rug.
