> You can't win a discussion with a journalist. You can, by not discussing.
I would apply some Art of War here and I would create a "Get the facts on GNOME"-like page with a link visible in the new homepage or the GNOME introduction page. The objective of this page would be to summarize GNOME's responses to the most usual subjects of criticism. The answers won't be like "this is not true and we are right" (except for criticisms that are objectively plain not true) but like "interesting, but in GNOME we have thought about and we have decided that our option is better because a b c". Most of the criticism I've read about GNOME is related to things that work different that the MS Windows / MacOS paradigms a normal citizen acquires in the school, at work... I mean, this daughter that hates GNOME and loves KDE has possibly a knowledge and an opinion about a proprietary OS that will look "normal" to her. Her father too, I bet. There is no usefulness to confront those paradigms directly, nor to get into Slashdot battles. We have much better things to do. I would acknowledge all criticism, think about it and discuss common answers to be published in this page we can link to when falling in those discussions.
