I believe OfficeUser had a bad day when he wrote that lousy bad and

We should not attach great importance to that matter with the
unfortunate subject line and wrong conclusion.


I see the person is quite helpful in finding bugs too:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advancedemailreporter2=1emailtype2=substringlist_id=70531email2=big_nproduct=LibreOffice

So must have been a sad mistake, I guess too.

Hello Kohei,

I believe OfficeUser had a bad day when he wrote that lousy bad and
incomplete report with wild speculations instead of reviewable facts.

We should not attach great importance to that matter with the
unfortunate subject line and wrong conclusion.


But when I'm reading this bug in the right way the bug report is a 
direct accusation and a slander to *one* of our (new) developers who 
makes good work.
So the very least is that if OfficeUser had a bad day he had to say 
Sorry.

He already said Sorry and volunteered to change the summary  in Comment
number 4.

In any case it was Markus himself  who considered it was his fault in
comment #6 and #8 here
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46230#c6

It was impolite of OfficeUser to stress that but it doesn't seem like a case
to lose hope in a FOSS project

Just my 2 (non-dev) cents ;)

Regards,
Pedro

Hmm, he said sorry but the very next comment was invalid and negative
again.

This is not related. It was a Calc bug while the most problematic bug
was about Impress.

I hope that Kohei and Markus will not give up because of few quarrelsome
people. They do great job and are important for the project.

Petr

 It's a bug reporter like this that makes me lose hope in a FOSS
 project such as this one.

So - it's not particularly nice to try to blame someone; on the other
hand possibly if the bug reporter has a suspicion it was related to
something else that might be relevant I'd like to have that in the bug
personally - even if it's wildly wrong. Prolly I'm missing some context.

Having said that - really being blamed for things you didn't do is
(IMHO) a sign of success ;-) it means that our breadth of community is
reaching well into the lunatic fringe.

The reality is that you guys are doing a simple excellent job in calc,
and no random bug reporter is going to change your co-worker's
impression of you there :-) So - I'd counsel relaxing, passing the bug
report around to amuse a few friends, and seeing it as an unwanted
symptom of success.

Some of the personal flameage I get from time to time is really rather
amusing ;-) try this for a recent, unsolicited, (anonymized) and heroic
attempt to transfer blame:

I have a bone to pick with LibreOffice. Not all of it is
 LibreOffice's fault, but there is enough blame to go around.
...
This is definitely a very bad attitude towards LibreOffice. I
 think justifiably. The term when I have been harmed in this way
 is that LibreOffice is now anathema to me, cast aside in to the
 bin of broken software never to be used again.

:-)

And this wasn't even a document-data-loss bug; in fact there was no bug
in LibreOffice at all here on investigation; just some silly user-error.
Then again, you'd be amazed at the number of things I'm (apparently)
personally responsible for ;-

On a more positive note, I'm regularly impressed at how pleasant some
people can be on the rare occasions (eg. before the fsync patch went in)
that hours of data are lost through no fault of their own and they file
bugs that are remarkably restrained.

IMHO, the real fun is trying to win such people over and help turn them
into advocates and/or QA people in time but ... that's a big ask I know.

Hope that helps ! Keep up the good work Moggi, Kohei  co. :-)

ATB,

Michael.

Please better feel the support from others who appreciate the well done 
job by the devs.


Always see the positives, and forgive the negatives.
