No, there was plenty provocation, although you could maybe argue he
overreacted a little - but he was mid-his-company-being-taken-over so
a little overreaction to extra stress is hardly anything to blame him for.

Was all a bit of a shame really, and spannered the early days of the
DBIx::Class project as well because people put it into production while
we were still in research mode, and other people who hadn't paid attention
to events properly thought it was a hostile fork.

We were definitely living in Interesting Times for a short while there.
