In hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have done that. I apologise. If at all,
I probably should have sent the mail privately, so you wouldn't have
needed to defend yourself in front of the public community. But the urge
was strong.
I don't know what it is that makes me over-react whenever you use terms
or phrases that I see as potentially offensive. I tried to find the
e-mail where you commented on the patrol feature, but I can't find it.
There was another e-mail where you described a negative comment of mine
as "whinging". In hindsight, it's a small thing, and I probably *was*
whinging, but I think all of these small things add up to make it a
bigger thing.
* I honestly thought refusing to contribute to the
Klingon Wikipedia was
a fair compromise.
It is perfectly in your right to do or not do what you like. I
personally don't like this behaviour of yours, but I will not complain
about it because I am not in a position where I am entitled to do so.
However, I guess what actually irritates me is the combination of that
*and* the fact that there are very few other people with the relevant
access => the brickwall effect. I have often moaned that too few people
have access to do the things smaller projects need to have done (this
applies to pretty much all projects, not just tlh), and unfortunately it
has often been misinterpreted to mean that I am insisting on receiving
access myself. I just think that if you are going to refuse to do
something that is in your power to do, then you should at least empower
someone else to do it instead.
Thanks, anyway, for clarifying everything. I feel better now.
