I can't really agree on that based on recent commits. Just checked
jpsaman commits from past few years. And sure, there are few faulty
commits (and reverts) but most of the small commits seems ok. Are you
sure you are basing your opinion on recent stuff and not something from
years back?

You have every right to complain, but you shouldn't think that the end
justifies the means. So instead of being in this cold flame-war stale
mate position when one move explodes rage and flaming, maybe some other
approach could be more fruitfull.

I call that bullying because you didn't really say anything about that
commit, instead started to shout out how everything is shit and wrong
always and it's all jpsaman fault.

Would you have ever mentioned that you intented the code to be so that
it doesn't need linking on those libraries, unless it wouldn't be asked
that whats the actual issue there? Thats the reason I call it bullying
and waste of time.

Do you think this is the way to handle that kinda problems?
