by the community, by us all

maybe "bullied" is a badly choosen word here, but the way i understand it, is paul
dislike having to deal with "disturbing" reviews

And i can here only speak of myself not about how paul sees it, so it
is my view here:

Posting a patch that is technically correct and fine and then having to
deal with endless debates is annoying.

Thats also why i keep asking for plugin support, as it allows people
to work on their code under their own terms.

thx

right to say it. -- Voltaire
