I think there should be "short version", but that this is not quite it. The short of it is that Matt was unable to treat many of his fellow developers with the civility and respect that they deserve. The FreeBSD Project attempts to foster a productive environment for development; sure, as with any online community, it's going to have its share of disagreements and occasional flames. It's hard to imagine any e-mail list without occasional fiery and enthusiastic disagreement. However, there are times when individuals may step beyond the scope of what is considered reasonable, expected, or acceptable. Obviously, this is subject to interpretation and debate, but I'd ask that those passing judgement on this action take into account that this was given long and hard consideration, and that it was not a decision taken lightly or without regret.
