Frankly, I think both of you have been quite brash lately (moreso on wine-devel, but on bugzilla as well). I personally think everyone (not just the two of you) could stand to take down the aggressiveness a notch and try to speak/negotiate in good faith.
Clearly I should have been smart like everyone else and just ignored this bug report. My bad, won't happen again. I do sincerely hope everyone keeps that in mind the next time people wonder why certain threads on wine-devel don't get any replies, or why some people don't get any feedback on their patches.
That doesn't really seem 'good faith' to me. There was no need for sarcastic comments when I was simply pointing out that the behavior by wine developers in general could use improvement. It shouldn't be a matter of commenting harshly or not at all. That sort of attitude has been cited quite a few times from potential developers as a reason for not wanting to (continue to) contribute, and is something that we should all strive to change.
I'll leave it at that, given that this topic has been discussed plenty on wine-devel and I'd rather discuss it there or at Wineconf.
