No my idea was that you should ask and I said here would be fine, if
the developers are turned off contributing to the project by your
attitude. I suggested mailing the list if you thought I was wrong.

Which I later clarified to mean that long term if your attitude
discourages people from contributing code. I do not wish to get in to
childish debate or waste any ones time. This is my point of view, that
yes long term it will hurt the project more. I can site examples but I
am not wanting to beat a dead horse at this point.

This is my point of view. No one else's. I think long term your
attitude is a detriment to the project, your methods are sloppy and
you don't care how much it bothers other people. I mean you care about
the project and think your development methods are helping but your
attitude towards anyone that has tried to tell you otherwise has never
shown it. Now if you want to ask the question correctly.

Are you turned off contributing to the project by Alex's attitude

[] Yes
[] No
