Good Morning,
I must appologize for a few things, not any of which is any one
particular person's fault. Some of them appear to be mine, and I would
love to claim responsibility for them.
I had 1, yes 1, user approach me with 1, yes 1, incident. This person
also appeared to be asking me if what they had done was wrong, which I
clearly stated it was not, and if anything, was my fault for having
the mail return directly to the list without notifying users. To me,
this is not a case, but an isolated incident. How should I react to that?
Well I feel I did the correct thing. If this had persisted I would
have talked to all parties involved to try and resolve this problem
without a public display. If this makes me a bad person, so be it. I
do not think that anyone else should react in a matter different than I
did given what information I had, and the circumstances.
Second, I have been informed that some of these people who were
flamed, feel that somehow they were at fault for something. The only
reason I have not stated anything about this earlier is that it seemed
obvious to me that the people approached were not guilty of anything.
It is a matter that Litch can be abbrasive to those not used to his
style, especially in private email. I know that if he is given the
chance he behaves well. Backing him into a corner is not a way to get
him to change though, it just makes him more pissed off.
Ciao,
Phelim Uhtred Gervase
