Nope. He emailed me, Alex Francis and the Skillswap gmail account,
asking us if we'd like to help him organise BarCamp Bristol 2.

He's helped organise other BarCamps, apparently, but if he'd come to
us offering to help us I might feel more disposed towards him. Not
that we have to organise the next one just because we did the first
one but there's a community aspect to it that I think he's missing,
wilfully or through ignorance. Yes, experience of organising BarCamps
is useful, but it doesn't trump working with local communities like
Underscore, SkillSwap etc.

God, this is probably how wars, or at least political factions, start :(
