On one hand I can conceive that it is neccessary at times to use the "I'm a core member argument", on the other hand, this should be a last resort, if all other methods fail to reach an agreement. Over the years I have always found it difficult, as a reader of the mailing lists, to form an opinion about some dispute that would be going on at one time or another, and the same occurs here. However, it seems to me that in this case, more respect should have been shown for a volunteer that tries to maintain and enhance a piece of the freebsd software distribution. Sounds like ego-clashing to me. Has this been discussed in the -core mailing list at all? Have any other core members acted as an intermediate?
