I never meant it to sound like I blamed the core team and the 
developers in particular. My comments were directed to the BSD 
community as a whole, be it users, administrators or coders.
Actually, the fact that Dillon lost his commit bit clearly shows that 
core does *not* put up with lacking social skills, since that seems to 
be the reason he was removed.

My earlier rant was aimed at those that seem to think that code is the 
only thing that counts. If you are not one of them, you have no reason 
to be offended, it was not aimed at you.

I apologize if I expressed myself a bit unclear, I was somewhat pissed 
off when I wrote that email.
