I hadn't seen the thread again until after the exchange between Maciej
and JF had finished.  I didn't find it necessary to ask them to do the
same, as I figured it was over and a further reminder wouldn't
accomplish anything.

This implies that I've been inappropriately spamming you with emails,
possibly in an offensive manner.  That's, um, not true.  I'd
appreciate if you didn't imply character-damaging things about me.
(If I actually do something character-damaging, feel free to mention
it when appropriate, but please don't merely hint at horrible things I
might have done.)

I just looked through my mail archives, and found a few private
discussions which concluded amicably, and one final private exchange
about the time I called you a liar in a publicly-logged chat room,
where you asked me to keep all communication related to HTML5 on the
list.  I've done so.  This reminder to be more careful about the
cc-list is the first private communication of any kind I've had with
you since then.

Doug intervened in a spirit of conciliation, and was extremely polite
in his email.  I would appreciate if you would extend to him the same
courtesy, even if you do think he shouldn't have emailed in the first
place.
