arthus: ringmaster: none of this is meant as a personal attack, and reading it now it seems to come off that way, so I'm sorry

[9:42pm] ringmaster: arthus, kiss my ass.
[9:43pm] arthus: ringmaster: ...
[9:43pm] ringmaster: Really, I've been discussing all day how I'm trying not to just tell you you suck, but I just don't give a damn any more.
[9:44pm] arthus: fuck you, supposedly benevolent dictator
[9:44pm] ringmaster: I don't commit your code because I often think it's bad, and I can't figure out how to be nice about it, so I say nothing, which is why I never personally review your code.  If you think it's some conspiracy against you, so be it.  I just don't care what you think.
arthus: since you're a god damn perfectionist who would never have a single feature done if he was left to his own devices
[9:45pm] ringmaster: arthus, no, I just don't like your code.  Plain and simple.
[9:45pm] arthus: the rest of you: bye, I'm sorry I won't be able to help anymore
[9:46pm] arthus: since your dictator doesn't "like my code"
[9:46pm] MellerTime: ringmaster: you are a perfectionist 
[9:46pm] arthus: ringmaster: and yet you can't even think of a good objection
[9:46pm] miklb: I ain't got no dictator
[9:46pm] arthus: beyond not liking it
[9:49pm] ringmaster: arthus, no, it really is the code.  I often don't like your code, and I don't like how you present yourself when I say I don't like it.  I'm sick of apologizing for your insistence on meeting my standards which you have recognized as beyond your reach.
[10:01pm] ringmaster: arthus, I'm personally done talking to you right now, if only because this conversation isn't productive even in resolving whatever it is you perceive as the problem.  I think you've ruined any goodwill I had toward you with your email to -dev.  If you want to leave the project, you don't need to do anything more, just walk.
