I have "delicate" feelings about both my emacsen.  I think there are plenty of 
people in the same boat.  It's in my (and our) interest to see both efforts 
continue and thrive.

If something was said in e.e.xemacs that I think could hurt the feelings of 
XEmacs developers, I'd say something as well.

If you had pointed out some specific short comings of XEmacs (there are some), 
I wouldn't have minded.  But to make a general statement like:
