Only you have spoken of a race to commit and I have not said I would
refuse to listen to you or others.

Reading your words, it would be easy to forget we are a team of people
whose aim is software development. It's not the OK Corral.

Yesterday you berated me for unstable software. Today you oppose my

everything I say and do? No doubt you will oppose other committers in
the way you oppose me...
