As a member of the community, regardless of how long you've been around, you are
absolutely entitled to post to threads on aur-general :) All we ask is everyone
keeps things civil in nature ;)

In reading this thread so far it's clear to me that Drew just lost his temper,
as we all sometimes do. By observing his efforts to explain, acknowledge (the
first step towards correcting something undesirable in oneself), and take
actions to adjust his behavior, I'd say I'm personally okay with his current
demeanor.

It goes without saying that there is an expectation amongst Dev's and TU's to be
professional with user requests, bug reports, etc. I am of the opinion that if
Drew decides to "turn" and revert back, then we as TU's address it then.
However, until then, I think the behavior in the application should represent
who he is now.

Regards,

Andrew
