Yes, I'm annoyed. But at least I'm trying to comprehend what the fuck is going on. However, it's pretty hard when the project lead refuses to discuss things because he sees it as some kind of argument.

11:10 < Bleeter> seanegan: see, this is the problem I have with what you've done. you're the project lead for gaim.
you're hired by google to bring their voice to gaim, and in that role you've specifically ignored
the previous gaim-vv work. you did look at it, and chose not to use it so as to create even more
work for those who are not paid to contribute.
11:10 < seanegan> Bleeter: I'm not going to argue about this with you.

  I say go ahead and start your own messenger. Gaim's code _is_ a pile of criss-crossed shit. Or you could even work on more promising projects like Gossip. But if you feel that you can make a better program from scratch, I say do it. Good on you, I know I'll be rooting for you.

  I wonder how long till this comment gets deleted. I wonder if live journal will notify me when it does.

    I hate to even bite, but do you think your comments are really *that* special?

    It is not that I think my comments are special, its that I'm highly familiar with the reality of editorial control in a comment section, and I expect that only a comment that _is_ special, which mine is not, would stand a good chance of surviving said editorial control while disagreeing.

      The only editorial control I'm excercising is I've put a request to stop the pointless 'just fork' with nothing contructive to follow up with.
      
      To be honest, my comments fields are usually turned off.

    I could try deleting it so we could find out, but that would rather defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?
