Re: Just so you know
And this is *exactly* your problem.

No social skills. For people like you that don't have them, we need to codify them for you.

Joss, you may be technical savvy (I think you maintain some good packages; can't remember). But your social ineptitude is damaging the project as a whole. Starting TWO flamethreads is not "other people's problems"; it's also YOUR problem. You can't say "fuck you all, grow a thicker skin". It's not their responsibility to tolerate your jerkitude; it's YOUR responsibility to diminish it!

Thankfully, you're just one isolated jerk. The bigger problem with Debian is that the DPL didn't slap your hand for being one. I don't think you're gonna get it. I think you're gonna keep posting flamethreads as you seem to have a marked fondness for doing so. I don't think this will go on forever; I've seen jerks like you in many other communities, jerks that never get it, and although they can jerk around for quite a while, eventually the community realises that the problem is the jerk, not the community (admittedly, this may take time, maybe another release cycle or two).

Or, you could just get it. And apologise. And get a sensitivity training clue.
