It didn't, IMHO.  You made an unwise post, Jim responded fairly
predictably, I pointed out that you were sailing into dangerous waters
and both you and Jim stepped back (complicated by his accidental
posting of the private reply to the list).  Then there's...

Which was fair comment.  Then Jim bit her head off and she grew 
another one and bit back.  At this point the conversation had very
little to do with your original message.  Jim stomped off in a huff
and a stack of commentary on the behaviour arrived from 
on-lookers.  All fairly run-of-the-mill for gmast in my experience.

If I understand Carl this isn't particularly a response to the brief
spitting match, he's just not attached enough to the position to
take flak over it.  Sounds fair to me.
