Ok then - let me clarify my intended meaning:

"I'm annoyed at the uniform characterization of Subversion developers as
stubborn and unhelpful.

Rather than complain at this, I'd rather demonstrate that it is not true, by
either reopening past discussions and helping them to a satisfactory
conclusion, or at least explaining why a feature was not persued."
