I have no problem accepting responsibility and taking blame when I deserve it so if that shit is on me, that shit is on me and I'll try to be better next time. I dont particularly take pride in having to leave project which left systemd only half integrated in the distribution ( and no one picked up that work and probably never will ) but I had no other choice so you can just as well throw that to the shit pile as well. A man is worthless if he cannot live up to his own standards and since I was unable to complete my work there I most certainly did not live up to mine...

Good sodding grief... seek professional help. Seriously. This kind of histrionics would've been over the top even in a teenager, and you are past that age.

a) left the project (fedora, I take it?) != lost all ability to contact systemd developers. Their list isn't closed, AFAIK.

b) whether you've failed to inform them about screen(1) breaking in such situation back then or not, they certainly could've looked themselves. Searching for bug reports mentioning that setting is not a rocket science.

c) I've no comment on the state of Fedora (before or after systemd transition - it's not something I use other than for testing and that only when I can't reproduce a bug on something saner; I sure as hell do not watch the politcs in it), and your choice of standards is up to you, but that amount of drama got to be counterproductive whatever those standards might be. I really, honestly have no fucking idea how you've parted ways with that project; judging by your postings years later it had to have been messy as hell and at a guess hadn't been any calmer than said postings (BTW, as an aside - what the hell _is_ in phoenix? You keep refering to it, and by the context it sounds like a center of some Evil Corporate Cabal(tm), presumably RH-related one. I'm fairly sure that RH headquarters are still in Raleigh and AFAIK there's no office in Phoenix - AZ or otherwise...)
