Yeah, it's not acceptable to bring the private emails as an evidence. You need to try to be polite even to the maintainers like Krzysztof. He has made an opinion about you, and discussing the matter makes his opinion even stronger. This all strikes back on *your* reputation. > You grossly violated that little trust people still were willing to give > you. > > Steven asked me about situation, we talked, Steven explained what he did > and what he plans to do, and based on that and his explanation, I SAID > to him that I am willing to give you a chance by refraining to NAK > automatically your patches.

So, as I said, you made the situation even worse, and it's all on public...) Nevertheless, nobody prevents you from reviewing others' work. Try to be constructive and helpful at least a little bit. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
