Afaics Fabian is a DM doing work that deserves respect, such as maintaining
packages:

  http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=fabian@debian-unofficial.org

.. and explaining confusing situations like this one to people like James :).

I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly. Fabian did use some mildly
strong language, but if anything that was directed towards James and not
d-m-o, and in any case did not really seem that insulting. Indeed it doesn't
seem James took offense, so no harm done.


Kind regards,
