Perhaps I posted the wrong e-mail.

There simply is no excuse for a core developer acting this way.

But read the whole thing:

no, they are controversial because you are pig headed in addition to 
being wrong. keep telling yourself your statements are true if you wish; 
i'm sure you and your mom both care. the rest of us would prefer to move on.

damn. ok, let's try this: i'm going to be so offensive that you'll
finally, at least, leave. and the peasants will rejoice.

i've tried that to no effect.

that's because idiots aren't capable of coming up with new terms. ergo
there is no such term. because people who are accused of trolling 
generally (a) are trolling so nobody comes to their aide and (b) are 
idiot (see my first point)

i couldn't have summarized it better.

and by "welcome" you mean "go ahead, try it. then i'll argue against it
to the end of the world against all logic because i'm not interested in 
really moving things forward, only having useless arguments. p.s. 
because i'm an engineer."

your opinion is, i am sure, well meant. it's also amazingly, brilliantly
wrong. you have a terrific ability for doing this. perhaps you could go
help the competition. we'd appreciate that immensely.

this not a fact, it's just you being ironically humourous, or whatever 
you wish to call it, once again.

please, just go away.
