Sorry but I have no desire to work with you, when you say things like this:

You can't say such things about people, and then expect them to ignore
it because "We may have communicated it in a non-ideal way". Cmake
advocates have been consistently negative about boost contributors. I
have no idea why you think this is the way to get people's support,
but the fact that you do makes it hard to have any respect for your
judgement.

It's funny, as it looked like the cmake project was actually making
some progress, but the discussion over the past few days have
certainly set both it and boost back considerably. The cmake
"community" seem to be utterly toxic.
