Again, i'm looking for more than just the bug database here.

The only time i've seen condescension used is when the person posting
is not willing to actually understand the issues in the work they are
doing, or repeatedly ignore attempts to guide them.

Scott, you have repeatedly claimed unfriendlyness in the gcc developer
community, pointing only to our bug database, and private emails you get
from other people.
When people criticize your designs on gcc@, you seem to take it
personally, and call them unfriendly.
Nothing i have seen in my professional life of a developer tells me that
what you have received is more than just the regular mix of constructive
criticism, mixed with useless replies that inveitably occur that have
nothing to do with anything.
If you consider that "unfriendly", then you really need to get out of
the development business, because you need a thicker skin.
