--- Comment #26 from Cougar Brenneman <[email protected]> --- @Jean-Marc Liotier and @richlv I am a consumer--a writer--and I have been writing about my need for a very long time, and in this particular thread, there are both detailed descriptions of the functionality I need and a link to a different thread where I detailed the functionality at even greater length. So don't lecture me about how I should speak to the developer community and give them descriptions of the functionality I need. I've received no further questions about what I wrote, and as far as I can tell, what I've been saying has fallen into a big hairy black hole, both when speaking to the LibreOffice community and the OpenOffice community over ten years ago, and occasionally in between. So at this point, I'm done with being appropriate. I'm now going to start writing publicly about what's wrong whenever possible. I included the link to the comment that I wrote on ZDnet, and in that comment, I spoke of my frustration, with the frustration of others who need this functionality, and I quoted some of the discussion from this thread. The bottom line is that until this functionality is either duplicated or improved upon, LibreOffice is for me a nonstarter. When someone writes a glowing report about how wonderful LibreOffice is, I'm going to be in comment section writing in detail about what's wrong with LibreOffice. I'm going to argue every time I see the topic come up in a public discussion that for me, LibreOffice doesn't work. No, the Navigator doesn't fill the bill, not at all. In this thread, I've included three suggestions about how to make the Navigator "sort of" work, but as I wrote in that post, these suggestions are only to reach the bottom level of needed functionality. With those three suggestions, I could use LibreOffice, and I might, just because I am philosophically in the open source movement. You can lecture me about how a gentler approach works better, but I have to tell you that in my long, long, long experience of talking within this community, both is the bugzilla and in other forums about LibreOffice, I've received no traction in trying the gentler, more appreciative tone. No, I'm pissed, and I'm going to express my anger in dealing with the lack of responsiveness in this community. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
