Backlash? Where? Are we now considering the above mentioned blog as a representative of the whole Ubuntu community? Some of the comments there are often highly disrespectful to upstream GNOME authors and I have personally seen upstream authors take offense to the comments on that blog. [at times to the articles too] And had to say that those are not the views of the whole Ubuntu community. What worries me is that, if we consider those blog comments to be a representative of the whole Ubuntu community, then Upstream is justified at being offended. There is constructive criticism and there is just criticism/cynicism. Anonymity does not give a person the instant right to be rude. While it is easy for someone to make a passing comment about upstreams, it becomes a waste of time for people who have to interact with upstreams. We could all be more productive if people spent half that time, they spend commenting, on something more useful. -- Cheers, Vish _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
