So you do not care about the rest of the dev community... great. |

Your proposal is no better just because people agree with you. Moreover, |
20 |
it doesn't even address some of the concerns that were raised when it |
21 |
was first brought up. *Brillant*. |

This means that anobody who thinks that the 'put your favourite rule |
34 |
here' rule is broken is hereby allowed to break it. Right? |

And not caring about the whole development and user community by |
45 |
bypassing its rules hurts all of us even more. |

You are the only one that crapped yourself in public with this |
54 |
completely uncalled for response. |
55 |
|
56 |
You acted without asking the community so if people raise concerns about |
57 |
how you acted, just face it. Don't play the "contact me before saying I |
58 |
fucked up in public" thing. |
