So why haven't you done it here?
too busy up on that pedestal of yours?
Stop pouting and start being of value to IWETHEY, instead of just sucking off your Debian community friends.
Or maybe you've already reached your ultimate IWETHEY achievment - driving Karsten away.
Yeah. That's something to be proud of.

Tell you what.
I’ll pretend I didn’t read that, and you can pretend you didn’t write it.

Re: Tell you what.
I'll pretend that you're not a pompous twit, and you can try to not be one for once.

I'll be blunt.
I’m doing REALLY well at hanging on to my temper, and it’s not for your benefit.

Speaking of that pointy thing....
...What with that string hanging out the end, I think the flamage has been totally misdirected in terms of the particular feminine hygeine product involved.

In reality though
No one "drove" Karsten away. If he hadn't wanted to leave when he did, he'd still be here, because from my interactions with him, he isn't the kind of person who gets pushed around easily.
He chose to leave because he apparently felt betrayed by people he trusted, rather than stay here and work out the conflicts. I, along with many others, tried to get him to come back and confront the issues, but he chooses not to, and it's really his choice.
