Am I misunderstanding what constitutes civility? I was referring to "inadequacy of the code change", which I dont feel is outright uncivil, but IMO is the type of comment that is beneath someone of your obvious intelligence. > >>You had weeks to raise these points and chose to stay silent.

Ok, I accept that. But please consider my feedback about your communication style. You do not need to embed snide comments in your feedback. It is quite off-putting, even for someone like myself who has massive respect for you. > The reason why I didn't > issue these comments before is that I wasn't aware of your commit message > and the rest until I examined it just now due to it having landed in > blead.

And I still feel it does, however I respect that you feel differently and will do my best to address your concerns.

Well, given I provided a patch to review, and you did not engage my final mail, and then hit me with a highly opinionated critique after I pushed it certainly felt very passive-aggressive. >>That would be the height of rudeness and most inappropriate. > > Well, that's part of why I didn't just do it, but floated the idea first. I will do my best to address this today. However I have other obligations today, and may not get to it until tomorrow. Rest assured I will do my best to respond to your feedback in a mutually satisfactory way. cheers, Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"Thread Previous | Thread Next
