Hi,
I joined before Alex, so according to your theory I should hate him,
but it's not the case :-)
There were small flamewars previously also -- but you have to take in
account that project was smaller back in that time, I think.
Anyway of course it's also a style, and I personally speak with
people in their own style - I don't know why, but it happens to me
naturally. Official? Ok, we speak official. Inofficially, friendly?
No problem. Arguing - great (unless it starts hurting people, then
it's bad).
I like to argue sometimes, but of course I mean polite arguing. Like
about politics with Steven (Stalin vs. Hitler is my favorite topic),
about religion with Alex might be. All people have different point of
views, and I respect them, and I like to learn something new during
arguing - that's not bad.
As for voting, I like KJK very much:
Is the abuse of voting lame and boring?
[] Yes
WBR,
Aleksey.
P.S. Please, really, getting all this stuff(read: s..t) into mailing
list is not a good for project's image. Many of us have skype, icq,
emails, etc. It should be quite enough. And we have #reactos at last/
at first :)
And one more thing - I miss GvG in #reactos ;)

I've been reading this list for about 2.5 years
now, I have
stuff as far back in my archive as when RMS posted to the channel
regarding GPL issues with drivers and even before that, certainly
before Alex even joined the project, and I have to say that NEVER
in that history have I seen straight flaming between developers
like this on the public list. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but it
looks like its some of the older developers all being really
annoyed with a newer developer (aka Alex,) while the newer
developers while still annoyed deal with him. Believe me when I
say this, I have been on a team before where the old guys got fed
up with the new guys, and it only took a few a short time for the
team to fail, with the old guys forking off and making their own
new group and the new guys doing the same. Project forking in the
case of ReactOS would be fatal, it would mean tons of duplicated
effort and years added to the time frame for a working product.
And quite frankly from what I've seen it appears that Alex has
enough people behind him as well as technical ability to
successfully operate an active fork, I'm not saying he would do
this I'm just saying he has the ability if he wanted to. I
personally think that this is very unprofessional behavior, this
should be resolved over something like skype not a public channel
originally setup to aid COLLABORATION. You guys know that there
are people from MSDN that read this list and post about it in their
blogs right? Anyway guys, my point here is this isn't just the
fault of Alex, it is EVERYONES fault, work it out, I want to see
ReactOS 1.0, not ReactOS 0.5 and <reactos fork name here> 0.5
