You were the guy that diverted this thread off on a tangent by
complaining about David having a "bug in his britches" or whatever.
And when he made the perfectly reasonable point that it's better to
contribute to Emacs than a downstream repackaging project, you ignored
that and started talking about how his hostile attitude was hurting
free software, etc., etc., etc.

Please.
