You mean it's okay for someone to constantly create an atmosphere of
hate and mistrust in an otherwise perfectly functional project where
everyone else seems to like and respect each other?

It would seem unfair if we had done this step after the first two or
three incidents. I can't count them anymore, and most of the people I
know try to avoid reading Jorge's mails, or outright ignore threads
where he writes the most mails. Many developers are not subscribed to
the haiku mailing list anymore because of him. Many people had their
conflict with Jorge already. And with no one else. The only time I was
angry in the last 5 years was because of Jorge.

Since he shows no signs of even trying to fit in better, and instead,
the interval between his outbursts are getting shorter and shorter, he
just hurts the project severly. I had my share with Jorge, and since
then tried to get out of his way as much as possible. I can't count the
hours his social incompetence cost me already. I'm not willing to take
this any longer.

Please look at the SVN and Gentoo talks that Matt and others posted:
while they seem cold and economic at first, in fact they aren't. Trying
to revoke our rights of a GPL'd theme three days after the release is
just the tip of the iceberg.

Bye,
   Axel.
