This would only seem logical since you were collecting source
code for later use.

You've been away for a decade or so (by your own estimation).

I can't say who you excommunicated, I wasn't looking for that.
I can say that you imposed your 'will' often enough to be
noticeable when people disagreed with your opinions. Much the
way you are trying to do it now. Once a person disagrees with
you they become a 'project' and you won't let go of it.

BS>> One threat from that level always got the offender

There are multiple backbones now. No one person is that "high
up" anymore even if they think they are.
