I am not attacking Guido, I am attacking you for saying
something that is obviously bullshit. Not I am speculating
about Guido's motives, you are. I simply pointed out that
these motives you assert do not match the facts:

In that case, you shouldn't be making assertions about why
Guido does something or why not.

Yes, there is another nasty surprise: I have done it
already.

I'll say more about that in the "license" thread.

Of course not. I must have imagined it. I apologize. By the
way: I've looked at the Automake stuff you've committed in
ac-archive-build. Holy shit, that is a lot of CRAP. I
understand you are involved in the Automake project in some
way? I am really wondering what use these guys have for
contributions of that spectacularly low quality. I have seen
monkeys put stuff together that made more sense than these
commits do.
Please do NOT take this personally. I really don't mean to
attack you. I am just voicing my opinion that your work is
complete and utter crap. If you think I do that because I
want to attack you personally, then you are unreasonable and
won't listen to constructive criticism.

It's pretty simple to recognize: Whenever you get the
impression that I am unfriendly and confrontational in my
replies, _then_ I have felt personally attacked. With that
in mind, it should be straight-forward to figure the
appropriate passages in the recent discussion out.
