So it's OK for certain devs to play by their own rules, ignore the
opinions of others and ignore the letter and the spirit of the
written policy?

Because this is essentially what you are saying.  Of course you reserve
the privilege of bending the rules and deciding which rules can be bent
by whom.  But the core of the problem is the complete disregard for the
wishes and requirements of other people.  You just don't see them as
equals.

You will not like to hear this and start frothing at the mouth right
away, but after the recent round of insults and bad treatments I don't
much feel like pulling punches any longer: This situation very much
reminds me of the conflicts with a certain dev in MPlayer who lived
by his own rules without any regard for the devs around him.
