Since one dev so far has stepped "out of line", and this is by no means the
only time it has happened, I don't see how this argument has any
merit.  If it becomes a pattern where all members of the QA team are
causing problems, then I can see it as being valid.

I don't think you will find one person that is going to say they are
capable of changing how Ciaran interacts with people.  This is an
entirely different issue though, and I have talked to Ciaran about it.
What I was saying above is that I am not going to go and get involved
every single time someone has a disagreement.  This situation has
obviously grown to be ridiculous and I have had a talk with him about
it, so he knows my feelings on the situation, and what I expect.
