Bill Harvey just sent me the first rational email in this whole
discussion, and it wasn't about GGI at all, but about the debate.
He reminded me of what I always know but sometimes ignore: flaming doesn't
get you anywhere. As a result, I decided I'd better apologize for my
choice of words in the debate, and I think I'll just not reply to this
thread any further because I can't seem to not get upset by it.
I know a lot of people want to make a better world for graphics in Linux,
and I agree very much with that goal. I obviously don't always agree about
the methods, but things have only gotten worse from this particular
discussion, which is why I'll go sit in a corner with an ice-pack for a
while just to calm down.
Sorry again for some of the harsh words, and I hope this apology will
allow some people to re-read my emails, ignore the inflammatory tone, and
still consider what I've been trying to say. And when I get irritated,
give me an extra inch (or mile) of rope, knowing that Linux is _very_
important to me, and that I can easily get carried away..
