What I am saying is that the release coordinator must be accountable if his
position is to have any legitimacy. From what I can see, it does not have that
now.

There is no FUD, please don't spread FUD by accusing me of something that you
admit you don't understand :-).
Don't worry, I will be preparing an indictment against Dirk. In short it has to
do with his assertion for about 8 months now that he has final say over all PR
materials and somehow he is the King of KDE that I should obey. While this has
been very annoying and disturbing in the past, because I have had to ceaselessly
argue the point.
How would you like it, David, if I made demands on your KWord work, and said I
had final say over everything you do in KWord? And I persisted in this demand
over months despite numerous hours you spent trying to tell me how I was wrong?
And I made CVS changes right before a release w/out your knowledge or consent to
change things to how I liked them, even though in your strong opinion it broke
KWOrd, and when you confronted me politely and respectfully I would have none of
it and insisted I was right and that you must live with it? Honestly, David,
how would you react?
Today Dirk crossed the line by purposefully hurting KDE to spite me and/or for
his own ego.
Since this is the policies list, please tell me where I should send it. I would
prefer a private list to spare KDE this spectacle in public.
Ciao,
