If whoever wants to help out in a community project, and then see that when a task come and then gives a response that this was the wrong timing, due to other obligations - this is pretty fair response. Committing to a community project does not mean you have the resources available for your disposal whenever you need it. People committing to a community project just gives you an idea that people are interested in helping out. > Why you dont you just stick to lurking, since you clearly dont actually > want to do anything to help - just get in the way and try to make a lot > of noise you dont either understand or want to put any effort into > understanding. > > Would you call that a fair take on the state of your envolvement Morten ? Okay, I see that the CentOS developers are under a high pressure and stress level. Maybe a too high stress level. So I'm willing to stretch myself that far to see this incident in that light. Even though I do not know the background for this attack, I do dislike this kind of personal attacks - at least in the full public. I'm disappointed to see such happening here by the key people in the CentOS community. kind regards, David Sommerseth
