      That's ridiculous. You shouldn't complain when you obviously

      So go make your own branch if you need one.
     
     
Dude, you blow things way out of proportion. It's 6 posts. And I did read the
posts -all- 6 of them.

And everyone did NOT agree, PM seems to have some concerns.

And a -WHOLE- 3 days Feb 26 - Mar 1 to think about the idea and agree to it.
Just is not enough time for -everybody- to agree to it.

My point is you added untested/unproven code to the main trunk. Now when Mark or
gros make a patch/bug fix (which both have done by looking at backtrackes and
logs for metalforge) and commit them to the main trunk. I, and every other
server admin out there will have to incorporate your unproven code into our
servers, just to get the bug fix/patch.

As an aside, I do not know why you are so hostile. Don't know If it's residue
anger for the CFJavaEditor thing, or what.  

I apologized for my transgresses and tried to work with you on a compromise. The
compromise was you blew away my work and call is "useless".

So, I just stepped back and have decided not to work on that project because of
your inability to work with other developers (or just me) and compromise on
ideas.

Your attitude makes me want to leave the crossfire community.
