Since one dev so far has stepped "out of line", and this is by no means the |
| 17 |
only time it has happened, I don't see how this argument has any |
| 18 |
merit. If it becomes a pattern where all members of the QA team are |
| 19 |
causing problems, then I can see it as being valid. |

I don't think you will find one person that is going to say they are |
| 22 |
capable of changing how Ciaran interacts with people. This is an |
| 23 |
entirely different issue though, and I have talked to Ciaran about it. |
| 24 |
What I was saying above is that I am not going to go and get involved |
| 25 |
every single time someone has a disagreement. This situation has |
| 26 |
obviously grown to be ridiculous and I have had a talk with him about |
| 27 |
it, so he knows my feelings on the situation, and what I expect. |
