I'm talking about real-world cases of developers who stopped contributing or were afraid to contribute because of your sucky, condescending attitude.

Uh? I don't recall a single instance of Sascha scaring someone off.

Well, I do. Two, as a matter of fact. Lots of stuff happens on IRC and not the mailing lists, you know. Well, frankly, you have scared away a few yourself. I can name at least two.

Could be that I did in the distant past (I saw this was coming - I know you think that way). The difference is that I learned from experience and from feedback I got from people, and implemented it. Sascha, on the other hand, behaves exactly the way he did in day one, except he has more self confidence now, which makes it worse. I've spent quite a few hours of my life trying to explain Sascha in personal correspondence, as well as letters in the group forum, that his behavior is not suitable for a grown up person working in a team environment, to no avail. It *is* a shame, since he is indeed a talented developer. It did take me literally *years* before I came to the conclusion, today, that it's best off publicly discussed. Zeev
