First off, it's very easy (too easy) to comment like this when you don't know the full details. Terry's been getting along with us a lot better lately, but he's certainly been a royal pain in the backside to many of us in the past and there are some utterly baseless accusations he's made at various times which I'm still not all that sure I forgive him for. There are people in this life who revel in bedeviling others for what would often appear to be the sheer joy of it, and they rarely win popularity contests in the process. The members of core are only human and if you jab them enough times with a hat pin, they'll react. Don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins, etc etc. That said, we're certainly working every day on patience and other human virtues so that we can rise above the worst that our detractors may do, but you've still got to remember that this is a volunteer outfit and it's already enough to ask of our members that they donate their time and energy without asking for complete personality transplants on top of it.
