That's funny. I see now that I always subconsciously tended to explain this away as a case of culture clash: that attitudes and commentary felt as perfectly neutral by "Scandinavians" who make up the core Pike/Roxen team might easily be perceived as harsh and sometimes outright hostile by those of us born and raised more "down South", and that this has no remedy other than making an effort to ignore this "impedance mismatch" and to focus on the merits of each issue instead. Sorry for dragging out the old tired stereotypes ;-) But your opinion, and others voiced here, indicate there's more to it than that.

I believe very few people will join the Pike community while this continues. It is simply not a fun work environment.
I totaly agree. and I'll really hope this will stop one time or... all Pike related project willdies because of lack of interrest from Pike community.
Agreeing with everything said above (also most (or all) of the specific things mentioned before in this thread) I'd also like to add something: a lot of people here are insensitive clods.
I don't really belive this, having met a few of the people in real life, but that is how they are percieved. They're interresting people, but they're sometimes bad at communicating in writing. Things come out more harsh than needed and scepticism (which is a good quality) comes too soon - in effect discouraging people who want to contribute or just throw out an idea for discussion.
