How have I bad-mouthed anyone? My "attitude" toward Cary has
actually been quite positive - before I ever tried to communicate
with him, I had already imparted to him such human qualities as a
bright and an outgoing personality, and a fair and balanced
approach to new concepts. Hence when I made my plain and open
request - via wikein, mediazilla, and a private email - I had no
doubt that we would soon get a response from him. I was simply
expressing my disappointment in how things turned out, and in fact
I attribute his lack of responsiveness not to him, personally, but
to whatever behind-the-scenes artifices may be constricting his
degrees of motion and general sense of freedom.
Perhaps you should take a moment, and replace every instance in the
emails you are sending to the list of "Cary Bass" to "Stevertigo" to
determine out exactly how positive and fair your comments have been.
What the worst thing is, that I've been now forced by your comments to
take the time to respond to you on email lists rather than working on
substantially more important and valuable uses of the time that the
Foundation expects of me.
This will be the last email I have on this topic. I'm going to be
setting my wikien-l list to "nomail" for the time being so I can get
useful work done.
