FWIW I have asked mgb to tone it down before as well.

The thing that you miss is that there's a time and a place for things. This particular occasion is neither. It doesn't seem all that hard to figure that out, but I guess some people need help.

I didn't miss that, I'm just afraid we disagree on what this is the time for. The week that several accomplished project members resigned in due to his actions is most certainly *not* the week we should thank him for his work on dpkg.

Then don't thank him. Noone has requested that you thank him. Be silent.
Just let him go quietly. Please just let him go. If it irks you that other people are thanking him...just grit your teeth and let it happen and just let him go.
