Let's put it this way, you've tried my patience again and again but I am 
pretty much a jerk myself and I know how to take what I can dish it out BUT 
in community matters I (try as much as possible) to stay out of such issues 
in order not to piss everyone off.

Sorry to say it, but you have apparently pissed quite a few people off and 
some of them no longer want to work with you. I honestly think that your 
contribution is needed and very rewarding for us as a project - there should 
always be someone who plays the devils advocate if not for anything more than 
to make people think about things twice. Unfortunately your demeanor and tone 
results in people not wanting to working with you.

Once in a while I get pissed off so much that I simply give up..."let things 
be", I think, "that crap will never really come to be" and funny enough until 
now I have been correct. Then again, maybe it is the fact that I am willing 
to accept the state of things and work towards something better without 
stepping on toes in the process.

Working in a community means more than just following your logical process. It 
also involves dealing with other people and community decisions.

As I write this I know that you'll respond in detail to everything. I have no 
problem with that but starting another rant, as you say, is just a waste of 
time so you can leave it be.
