Discussions about the project are not private discussions.
Private discussions arent about the project.

So what is this here about?
A "private" discussion between me, diego and ronald?
there was just one namely a phone conference between diego, me, ronald and ben
Let me break the silence and list what i remember afer months (surely not
complete)

We talked about whitespaces after keywords, i think i said i dont like to
burden contributors with that and i think either ronald or ben where somewhat
agreeing

Someone said I should not correct false statements as i cant correct everything
on the net. I strongly disagreed to leave false statements standing.

Everyone told me that my tone was not nice on the mailinglist and i should
be more polite, i didnt know what exactly was meant and asked for an example
which noone could provide.

I think people suggested i call mans or write him an email, i wrote him several
emails without reply I didnt call him, he didnt call me either

Iam sure we talked about more but thats all i can remember. Its a pitty this
was not transscribed.

This is 1. not private and 2. not mud slinging but dead boring.

Also if i agreed to something in the hours of phone talks and forgot, a
simple reminder would have been good, and similarly me taking notes and not
loosing them would have helped too.

Also above phone conference was the only time i spoke with ben and ronald in my
life if iam not mistaken. So where are these amends that where tried and failed
