Agreed.

Not at all if you follow lynx-dev, where I never had or noticed
a personal problem since I subscribed for the first time in
1998.
You can't please everyone. Some users didn't like what the mICQ
wrote at
http://www.micq.org/pipermail/micq-list/2003-December/001025.html
, others didn't like foo, and I don't like some developers...

Well, I don't know what Thomas does in XFree86 besides
maintaining XTerm. Anyway, too bad the whole thing moved to
personal attacks, which apparently started 2 months ago (at
least on cygwin-xfree):

It's fine if you don't like each other and it doesn't cause any
prejudice to the projects, but better keep the discussion off
list. 38 e-mails for such a thread is too much. I think it's
time to put an end now.
