I've met Dmitry, he is an actual person, well known in Berlin, involved in practices relevant to this list for many years. If I am not mistaken he works on open-source projects aligned with his ideals and those of his collaborators.

I appreciate very much what Iain said about my own interventions, but I don't think it is worth using strong-arm tactics with one's peers. Dmitry has run a lot of very open and generous venues over the years (Stammtisch, etc), people appreciate that, I did when I went.

Why don't we all just cool out? I am glad to bury the hatchet. It's also possible to simply not read what one has no patience for.

onwards, Brian
