You know, it really is OK to be wrong.. in fact, it's the greatest gift anyone can hope for. I came here to contribute to a piece of software which I actually use. In the hope that my tiny contribution might be something that is accepted by the 'community'. What did I encounter? Character assassination. But I've come to realize how much of a fools errand I'm on, because nothing is going to change the mind of a person who doesn't want to change. And that's something I can accept. I'm wrong. I shouldn't be contributing to this list, and consequently .. I really shouldn't be using the GIMP because I'm not a part of 'all of the community'. Progress is made in communities when people learn to co-operate. Co-operation is only bread through understanding. Understanding is only created via acceptance. Acceptance requires that the individual listen to others first. Community isn't a salesman's buzzword. It's fundamental to the lives of everyone contributing. If you want to call this a community, 'to commune' would seem the first step.
