you can see remi quoted derek's mail as a conspiracy. my goal is to
make messages between developers clear on intent and meaning, and to
reduce flaming by having a common understanding of the english language.

we may all speak english, but we were taught and use english in
different ways. this obviously leads to miscommunications. especially
because the rules we all use to make assumptions and inferring are
different.

is this sarcasm? /s

one developer swore that they didnt have a conversation with me
at vdd, and its only been two weeks ago. three developers said i
misrepresented what was said at vdd. i wouldve preferred a recorded
medium if i knew peoples' memories would be this awful to deal with.

less rushing to judgment and more coding would be better for everyone.
