I did learn that these discussions were all based on email and IRC.  People do 
behave differently if you talk to them in person, or on the phone.  I do not 
want to question the decision of the CC in this matter, but for future issues I 
would like to see an interaction either on the phone or in face before such a 
decision is made.  Language barriers shouldn't matter, Ubuntu is not an 
anglo-american only project.

I second that.  I did see a lot of value in his contributions in the natty 
release cycle without becoming aware of the social issues myself.
