The guy sets my "jerk" alarms ringing like a 5 alarm fire. He doesn't play well with others, he constantly starts fights, and he threatens to take his ball and go home every time he loses. I don't care how much code he writes, I don't think he's worth the headache.
As I said, I get the impression that most of the Drupal developers get this, and they have mentioned more than once that Drupal's design goal is to be database-agnostic. It just seems to be Karoly and a few people here and there that he's able to incite into riot.
I'm upset with the community. The other core members need to stand up to Karoly and say, "You opinions are not those of the community, and we'll ban you from the lists if you continue to start this fight over and over again."
I recently ran across this video about "poisonous people" in open source projects. It's perhaps prudent. It's about 55 minutes long.
