I was just sharing my opinion, which was informed by my

of (apparently) political rhetoric in response to that.
Obviously the solutions look really simple and matter-of-fact
a year and a half later. The options were rather different
while it was actually going on, and all one has to do is STFW
to see that many people went through much distress over it.
Frankly, I am not a fan of the "shoot the messenger" approach
to dealing with bad news, especially as I really don't feel
I've said anything but the truth of my own experience. OK I'm
opinionated, but that opinion is backed by experience - that
makes it "anecdotal experience", something big corporations spend big
money to compile so they can tune and shape their ideas. The message
I'm getting is kde guys do not want any anecdotal experience unless
it is glowing praise or perhaps minor suggestions, so I will not speak
on it anymore.
Employing all that sort of rhetoric has the effect of making
discussion uncomfortable and restrictive, which I suppose is
the idea. Personally, I do not wish to say any more on the matter,
except to note that the sort of response I've encountered does
not inspire hope for the future of kde. :(
And with that, I am "out" on this subject, so if someone now
needs to shame me and put me in my place again that's fine,
and I will not respond so you'll have the last word. Just
know that I do not subscribe to all that shame-based grandstanding
silliness, so it's pretty much wasted on me.
No hard feelings, I understand we all have our burdens in life.
