What is wrong with narf ?

Narf is and has been an indispensable part of the CodeIgniter development team. A number of community members have stepped up over the last few months, with contributions, but the *core* has come from Narf.

Unfortunately, the number of inappropriate contributions (eg merge one's favorite addon) and support requests (filed as github issues) has increased as well. These detract from fixing bugs and getting version 3 out the door.

I stand behind Narf's terseness - it is appropriate given that he, like the rest of us, is volunteering to work on the framework, and only has so many hours in a day or week to contribute. I have gotten more terse myself over the last few months, given my workload, and have been accused of being rude and disrespectful too.

Flame wars on a public forum - that comes with the territory, though they have to sometimes be muffled.
Personal attacks on a public forum - not appropriate. Such issues should be raised with me, thank you.
