"Freenet is a research project, always has been. If people find that its usable, then great, they can help us research how to make it better.
your anonymity, I suggest you try Earth Station 5, its developers tell us that its just *great*!"
The derision is unimportant. The attitude is.
The attitude is simply your interpretation. Most people interpreted this for what it was - namely that Freenet is still in-development, that it is one of the most complex open source projects ever attempted, and that those using a pre-1.0 version should give the hard-working developers some latitude even when it results in temporary network instability.
In contrast - your attitude appears to be that the Freenet developers are somehow acting contrary to the interests of the Freenet community simply because you disagree with them on one issue. Presumably this is on the basis of your massive contribution to the Freenet development effort, no doubt consisting of much more than the hours of work most core developers devote to Freenet on a daily basis.
This is just one recent example. Obviously you welcome people that does other than coding, and users that using Freenet allow testing and evolution are welcomed. Nodeops too. But they are not respected.
Wrong - I greatly respect those that use Freenet, without them the project would not exist. I do not respect those that complain while offering no constructive criticism. Unlike most users, they don't help Freenet, they hurt it.
You flatter yourself when you claim to speak for the entire Freenet community. Most of the Freenet community know the meaning of "unstable".I wonder where I wrote that; anyway I can only beg your and the other list subscribers pardon for being unable to master a foreign language.
It is not a question of your mastery of English - your English is infinitely better than my Italian, it is a question of your attitude.
You said:
"...in particular your position about the zero value of a Freenet community that was already destroyed in the past without IMHO any real need."
You presume that I do not value the Freenet community simply because I do not agree with your assessment of how the recent network fault should have been advertised. I am sure that would be considered just as ridiculous in Italy as it is in any other part of the world.
