it matters to me to not scapegoat the QA team in order to minimize its work.

I won't be there at the meeting unfortunately. I'll log it to read it.
Personally I like things to be said face to face that's why I take time 
to write these mails. And I do feel targeted.
In any case I hope I clarified my position and if this one reverted 
commit by me was not done properly (I think I never behaved unfairly 
within KDE, have I?), this happens quite often. Happened from you too.
Let's then have a rule of review everything properly.

If Valorie's mail had not come I was about to mail Kevin (ervin) in 
order to have a mediator of some sort, because I was uncomfortable with 
this, not for me but for all plasma caring people (which may be or not 
"The Plasma Team").

It'll be probably good to take some time to reflect on the Community 
Working Group check list, with the help of this group members if necessary.
