Dear Sir,

Should I think you mitigate your dislike and/or anger against me
because you see more advantages than disadvantages in keeping
communication link with me?

Oh, please. Don't offend your and my intelligence saying that a man can
insult a car, a table, a tree, or here a system or hobby! Let's left it
as a slip-up in reasoning.

To be exact you made another slip-up matching words "honest" with
"patronizing". Let's say "you detect a bit of sarcasm in it",
what wouldn't be far from the truth.

I didn't find WWW page summing up your plans. What's the cause for such
surreptitious activity?

It is NOT MY AGENDA (a curse suppressed...; beg your pardon for the
shout, but there are times when only shout can express the right
meaning...). Please do not lie! What you are going to do will benefit
all NetBSD users. Of course, you could do nothing, but you know too
well it would be a wrong path.

Thank you. I see to that in a future. First I'll try to finish "links
subject" on my WWW. When the time for LearN@BSD CDs come I will
knock to your doors.

> Working on editors/tea for you now ...

__Thank you very much for the words__. I am not offended albeit I
should. The words show how your very small, and closed community sees
others: "We are making something __for you__ so be polite and
_appreciative_". Pay attention, please, to two issues: "for you" (not
for us) and "appreciative" (obliged for what?).

We versus Them.
A culture which puts the distribution on an extinction path.

The problem is that when one of "Them" say "you are wrong" or "I
have rights to demand" (what a blasphemy!), right away he has to stave
off attacks of angry faces manifesting Syndrome of Offended Virgin.

If they have time and energy to fight such e-mail wars like the ones
with me, why they didn't manifest such ferocious activities in pursuing
your (plural) plans? Quoting your words: "...in fact we may have
discussed it before and even planned it that way for good reasons".
("Planned" is in Past Tense I dare to emphasize.)

I read what you wrote to me, the most offending e-mails as well. And I
had the courage to think why it were so, and why it went so.

Some English words of "hate", "demand", "you should" comes from direct
translations of native meaning. They may sound different in different
cultures but they convey a contents __together with their context
(associated words) __. A content which might be treated with much more
attention. Unfortunately some of you see what they want to see and
customize opinions to the narrow vision.

I know, "no one's perfect". ;-) Me too.

Mr Reed, this is a second version of my reply to this e-mail of yours. I
tried to be more precise and get rid of any "hateful" or "angry"
undertones. I you felt sarcasm, bitterness, or irritation I wrote
the letter correct.

I'm sure my words carry on something worth to think it over for a
moment, at least. And I hope this e-mail will bury the hatchets.

Regards,
Przemysław Pawełczyk
