No, that's the truth! You can sugar coat it all you want but at the end of the day you have to be blunt and honest if you want professional results. I did in fact start conversing with w0rp in a more congenial manner but his childish attitude was when i decided to stop pulling punches. My first comment was to suggest some javascript libraries which was ignored. Then i pleaded with w0rp to use the correct logo and colors. Which was then dismissed as he thought *his* logo was better than the official one. See the first reply in this post in which i outlined my position: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected] and tell me again who is being destructive. In that same thread Walter is quoted as saying: "All excellent points, and I agree with you on all of them. And I like the current logo, and want to keep it." and yet w0rp still insists on going forward with this terrible design.
Truth or not doesn't have to have anything to do with being destructive or constructive. Most of the time there is a good truth and a bad truth and just focusing on the bad side can be pretty destructive.
You're joking right? Anyone can see it's terrible and needs to be done better. There are no versions of truth!
What I'd wish for would be something like s/i wish you would stop right now/i'd suggest to .../g - or maybe pledge for a professional web designer? Just something that brings us forward instead of just promoting stagnancy.
I tried but was immediately dismissed.
