The words practically accused me of deliberately repeating a lie. But it seems that he didn't mean it that way, so I won't hold it against him. I don't think he is a native English speaker; perhaps he did not realize what those words normally imply. I think the reason he came this way is because there is a feeling within the XEmacs community (or so I believe) that the Emacs development has generally been opposed to cooperation (even in the absence of any legal obstacle). Whether this feeling is justified or not is of course irrelevant. That is a very grave accusation against me, and whether it is justified ought to be important to anyone who works with me, just as it is to me.
