I do the same as well. Don't try to make the argument that "as the 
arsehole has more packages, he deserves to be in charge".  Such policy 
doesn't work for any community. Meritocracy *must* come in hand with 
*peer-review*. Else, it is just a broth that breeds conflict and strife.

You would do it if you had already been harassed in private for the 
previous six months, maybe more. I don't recall those details because, 
who would? That's the kind of thing you simply forget (If you are a 
Christian, you'll know the application of "turning the other cheek"). I 
certainly thought at the time I let Vuze go "Fuck it, he can have it and 
the turd polishig dummy can deal with the psycho." I can only guess 
David Blair went through a similar experience; may you not be in our shoes.

I am only giving a matter-of-fact relation of my experience. If it makes 
you cringe... Again: May you not be bullied so. And if you are, may you 
live interesting times. :-)

Let's hope so!
