[ros-dev] My attitude

[Aleksey Bragin]

Hi,
I joined before Alex, so according to your theory I should hate him,  
but it's not the case :-)
There were small flamewars previously also -- but you have to take in  
account that project was smaller back in that time, I think.

Anyway of course it's also a style, and I personally speak with  
people in their own style - I don't know why, but it happens to me  
naturally. Official? Ok, we speak official. Inofficially, friendly?  
No problem. Arguing - great (unless it starts hurting people, then  
it's bad).
I like to argue sometimes, but of course I mean polite arguing. Like  
about politics with Steven (Stalin vs. Hitler is my favorite topic),  
about religion with Alex might be. All people have different point of  
views, and I respect them, and I like to learn something new during  
arguing - that's not bad.

As for voting, I like KJK very much:

WBR,
Aleksey.
P.S. Please, really, getting all this stuff(read: s..t) into mailing  
list is not a good for project's image. Many of us have skype, icq,  
emails, etc. It should be quite enough. And we have #reactos at last/ 
at first :)
And one more thing - I miss GvG in #reactos ;)
