Looks like there's an annoying bug at the grounds of this communication over ostensibly technical matters. It is a common place that intentions can come across otherwise, and neither sender nor recipient are to be blamed. In the referenced document, you write

Now how do we make the job of a pumpking easier?

Good question. Answers, anyone? I see no comment to that post of yours. -- Rafael was doing his job with inherited proceedings, and it looks like your criticism of organizational matters (as I would put it from what I read, not having digged through all of that) was perceived by him as criticism of his pumpking performance.

Or something like that. Anyways, this is - on both sides - a story of implicit assumptions. How I wish you and Rafael fixed that bug!

Best wishes,
