I didn't personally point fingers in this case because me doing so in
that discussion would not have been taken as a neutral party stance.
Besides both sides were being childish; and sending one mail is easier
than 2-3 ;p
Neutral parties are constantly encouraged to put a stop to anti-social

to see bytes being wasted on unproductive discussions, but we don't
want a witch-hunt either :)
