Since others have and do take up bandwidth I would like to express my feelings towards apparent “ego trips”.

What is aggravating is that the individuals who engage in these “ego trips” are knowledgeable and have helped the development community in many ways. They give much of themselves but seem to have a “button” which when pressed renders them incomprehensible to others. That “button” is anything a specific person says. Fault must be found and judgement rendered. This is not adult behavior nor do I observe children behaving in this manner. Does the development community have to have labels for these individuals? Do we have to keep amusing ourselves with the line, “boys will be boys”?

A bit of maturity on the part of some UT members would be appreciated. Acting in a civil manner would too! If you cannot do this could you at least consider not talking to each other?

If you wish I would gladly be willing to act as a peace maker.
