Yeah, it's a little frustrated from my point of view also - as I tend
to "go with the flow" more. I don't completely agree with that aspect
of his personality, and I try to distance myself from it just enough
that hopefully others recognize that I don't feel exactly the same
way.
On the other hand, this is a trait that can be used for extremely good
purposes - imagine how diligently and emotionally someone like Koki
will attack issues and follow through on them. He doesn't let-down
easily, always trying to drive his opinions home at every possible
chance and turn - and while in this particular case that is perceived
as "bad" to some people, that exact same personality trait can be
exceptionally good as well :)
It's obvious (to me) that Koki still cares about Haiku, and the
community around it. He just chooses to keep his involvement somewhat
muted at this point.
I hope he doesn't mind me posting my personal views and opinions here :)

Agreed - I think that's very much what FalterCon is about. There
*have* been some strongly worded statements made out of frustration
and dissatisfaction, but we're NOT out to destroy Haiku, Inc. If
anything, hopefully we're raising the bar a bit (not sure if we can,
but we'd like to try!)
BTW, Thanks for the response!
