I'm completely willing to admit that I may be misreading your emails.
It's very difficult to judge tone on the Internet, and I may very well
have misread the tone that you intended to convey. I can tell you how
they came across to me, but, of course, I cannot say how you mean
them.

But I do not think it is true that I am accusing you of yelling
because the voting is against you. The reason why I felt that way is
because you were using what seemed to me to be very strong language
over what seemed to me to be a very minor issue. Phrases like "it will
make whole design inconsistent", "this is nasty thing", "you've just
changed the whole engine", and "this goes against all current practice
of options usage," seem like very strong wording and, in my opinion,
are just not accurate.
