James,
first, I am sorry that you are so disturbed. I realize that this is
partially my fault, so I apologize.

I initially wanted to write "If I were Han-Wen...", but then realized it's
a bad idea. I'll let Han-Wen speak for himself; however, please let me
express my emotions.
I am very saddened by this message. I see a member of the community whose
frustration didn't meet with understanding, but rather with something that
looks like mocking or sarcasm.
As I see it, Han-Wen expressed his emotions. He didn't do it in an
aggressive way; I wouldn't say that he bashed David, either. (David, please
correct me if you felt bashed by Han-Wen's message.) Han-Wen's point was to
empathize with new contributors, and he actually praised David for the
changes he's making.
Han-Wen, I am very sorry that what you wrote didn't meet with empathy or at
least understanding. I imagine you may be very frustrated.
Janek
