Criticism as a measure of strength?

Just on my first day of playing with Eclipse I stumble upon Mike Milinkovich’s blog entry in which he seems to loose patience with a persistent criticizer of the Eclipse community.
I feel that I received much more explicit, ehhh, feedback when I ran the Java Community Process than Bjorn’s writings on his blog. But it seems there’s more history between the two gentlemen than just the exchanges between their two blogs and their comments. If nothing else Bjorn’s tag line for his blog is a hint. I admire Mike for speaking from the heart in his blog entry. During my JCP days there were certainly one or two times that I wanted to say to some to go away.Community:
