I have been in the past, but I had specifically cleared out time -- deferring paying work in fact -- to work on this. Makes it all the more frustrating.

There's no "probably" about it. It was my work, he shouldn't just have committed it. End of story.

I've been the person doing 90% of the work on this; it was my idea in the first place; for months I harangued people about this and nobody else did ANYTHING about it. The idea that I'm not the one actually getting things done is preposterous and highly offensive.

Yes, I was being harsh because he did something very wrong that offended me. I reject the idea that it's wrong to communicate frustration when your'e frustrated.

Yes. It is symptomatic of the entire problem.
