Fullstop. You refuse to accept it was an accident. Therefore we refuse to accept that your public posting was an accident. You publically attacked another open source developer for a specific purpose. You are an inhuman asshole, out to make a public fuss about something, when you had a choice to tell him in private. You got what you wanted -- the driver has been deleted. But you feel you must continue to say that someone you called a thief (because you believe it was not an accident, and a liar (because you don't believe him when he says it was an accident) had other choices?

Jason Dixon is a liar because he doubts something? How can he be a liar if he is stating something he believes? Let me rephrase it: He believes you would treat a company better than you treated Marcus. Where's the lie?
