That IS grandstanding. I'm not saying I disagree with the position you advocate, but saying "do it my way or I'll quit" is basically saying that reasoning besides the community has to add to the balance of the choice their desire to have your contributions. At work just about every boss I have had any respect for would have fired me on the spot for making such a statement and not retracting it (regardless of whether they ended up making the decision I was advocating for). They'd have been right to do so - the cost to an organization of tolerating such behavior is higher than the benefits any individual can offer. It is possible to agree with your argument and fault your communication style at the same time. Rich
