ircmaxwell has contributed a hell of a lot to PHP recently, this is not some worthless shmuck complaining, this is someone that can and does provide significant

  Who said he was a "worthless schmuck"? Geniuses can have temper-tantrums, too. Just because he has made worthy contributions doesn't mean that he isn't acting like a drama queen.

    Who said he was a "worthless schmuck"? You've implied that what he's in charge of right now are "toys". Does that qualify?

    That was ad hominem. Try addressing the individual issues he raised.

    You referred to his post as a temper tantrum (subtext: he's being childish), refer to him as someone who just wants more "toys" (subtext: also childish), and just had to point out that his points about PHP were obvious (subtext: nothing interesting to say). Then you suggested that he might be a drama queen (subtext: too numerous to list here). That may not reflect your feelings, but that is what you communicated, whether you meant to or not. It's the nature of electronic communication- it's very easy to misinterpret. Maybe you talk like this in real life and being somewhat hyperbolic in your choice of words is a humorous verbal quirk, but none of that comes across electronically.
