A while ago, when you were here in town and we went on our adventure/misadventure, the best part of all that was that I got to know you better in a context that was different from all the projects you've worked on -- and I really enjoyed that. You said something that always stuck with me -- that you were good at coming up with ideas and solutions, but didn't enjoy managing them after they'd gotten off the ground, preferring to hand them off to people and stay involved on the side or as a contributor. I thought that was awesome, because I'm the exact opposite. I can't come up with ideas or solutions, but give me a project, and I will manage that baby until it purrs.
I really can't even imagine how painful this has been, especially since you've given us these great ideas and solutions, and instead you're getting people's personal axes to grind. Sometimes, having a personal axe to grind can be helpful in motivating people; here, I think it's turned into this petty BNF crap that makes me want to run for the hills. I hope you know that there are still a lot of us out here who value the contributions you've made, and aren't looking at this as a personality contest.
