This user's perspective, having been affected by the previous issue: |
15 |
|
16 |
1. There was a problem that needed fixed. Agree. |
17 |
|
18 |
2. Something was done to fix it. =:^) |
19 |
|
20 |
3. Now it's going a bit far (publicly, at least). Also Agree. |

If there had been even a single question on anyone else's commits during |
23 |
this period, it'd arguably be different. But just as the previous had |
24 |
gotten a bit ridiculous and a course correction was needed, so here as |
25 |
well. |
26 |
|
27 |
I certainly have to respect him for sticking with it in the face of |
28 |
opposition... in both instances. |
