Here are two posts where Junio and Michael Haggerty explain the reasoning to you: - http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/248727 - http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/248693 Basically, in your case it boils down to your social manners. Despite the (good) work you did, many people think the community and git as a whole as more to loose by having to deal with your theatrics, especially since you try to take everyone hostage of your situations. No amount of "arguing" (calling it "ad hominem" etc) will change anything at this point, you have to accept that your social actions have a big part of responsibility in this. IMHO, you should change your behavior into a more respectful one and give people some time to discover you changed, otherwise it is innevitable that you'll just get banned/ignored by mostly everyone. We spent way too much energy dealing with these silly issues, please find a way to deal with it that doesn't annoy everyone and doens't affect the friendlyness of the mailing list. Philippe
